What is the compliment base of thymine

Biology
2 answers:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is adenine.

The nitrogenous base pairings are always adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.

I remember this as

    · the two round letters (C and G) pair together
    · the two straight-edged letters (A and T) pair together

Hopefully that helps.

Answer:

Adenine

Explanation:

In the DNA molecule there is the pairing of a purine nitrogen base (adenine and guanine) with a pyrimidine (cytosine and thymine) and this complementary pairing is not random: Adenine always pairs with Thymine through two hydrogen bridges, and Cytosine always partners with Guanina for three hydrogen bridges. Thus, the amount of adenine is always equal to that of thymine and the amount of cytosine is the same as that of guanine. However, the amount of A + T is not necessarily equal to C + G.

With this, we can say that the complementary base to thymine is adenine.

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond if the organism was placed in seawater
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Contractile vacuole of amoeba will shrink/contract when the organism is placed in sea water.

Contractile vacuole is a subcellular structure ( mainly found in protists) that is involved in the regulation of water quantity inside a cell.

As we know that water always flow from a hypotonic ( where solute concentration is less) to a hypertonic ( where solute concentration is more) solution. Sea water is a hypertonic solution as the concentration of salt is very high. Therefore, in this case, water will flow from contractile vacuole to outside of the organism.

Thus, contractile vacuole of amoeba will contract as it will lose water when placed in sea water.
