What is the compliment base of thymine

Biology

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.

Answer:

The correct answer is genetic drift.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of changing the frequency of an allele in a specific population with time is known as genetic drift. The mentioned gene variation or the modification in the frequency of the allele is required to take place abruptly so that the phenomenon of genetic drift can take place. The environmental factors do not play an essential role in the phenomenon of genetic drift to take place.  

The process of genetic drift occurs generally due to random sampling of organisms, it illustrates the random change in the number of gene variants within a population. When the existence of the different forms of a gene, that is, alleles, enhances or reduces by chance with time within a population, the phenomenon of genetic drift occurs. Thus, the mentioned case is an illustration of genetic drift.
