Answer: The viral nucleic acid is most likely Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

Explanation:

Unlike ribonucleic acid (RNA) where uracil can be found, thymine alongside adenine, cytosine and guanine are only found in DNA.

Thus, the presence of 10% thymine in the newly discovered virus makes its analyzed nucleic acid to be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion may be defined as the process of  movement of the particles from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration with the help of specific integral transmembrane protein.

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive diffusion and solute particle down the concentration gradient. So this process doesn't require an ATP or any other energy source.

Thus, the mismatched pair is option (A).
