Answer:
On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.
The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.
Answer:
48g
Explanation:
Volume of rock=16cm^3 (1 ml=1 cm^3)
Density=3 g/cm^3
Mass=?
d=m/v
3g/cm^3=m/16cm^3
3g/cm^3*16cm^3 =m
Therefore, m= 48g
