Analysis of the genome of a newly discovered bacterial strain reveals that it is composed of a double-stranded DNA molecule cont

aining 16% thymine. Based on this information, what would you predict the percentage of cytosine to be?

Answer:

Cytosine = 34%

Explanation:

Given percentage of thymine in a double stranded DNA of newly discovered bacterial strain = 16%

Since thymine pairs with adenine, percentage of adenine in this DNA = 16%

Total percentage of thymine and adenine = 16% + 16% = 32%

Out of total 100%, the percentage of guanine + cytosine = 100-32% = 68%

So, percentage of cytosine = 68% / 2= 34%

When a cell does not contain a nucleus, where is the DNA?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Many prokaryotes also carry small, circular DNA molecules called plasmids, which are distinct from the chromosomal DNA and can provide genetic advantages in specific environments.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>

Vascular plants exhibit alternation of generation. What is alternation of generation?
Crazy boy [7]
<span>Alternation of generation is what happens in the asexual reproduction of vascular plants in their gametes, as haploid cells that came from their gametes, spores fertilizes another plant becomes a diploid cell in the process.

In terms of vascular plants, they help maintain the water cycle. The property of these plants enables them to carry out this function is their well-developed vascular system. These type of plants are more evolved and developed than nonvascular plants because of its specialized characteristics like xylem, which is a tissue that is responsible for its framework and not only that, it is also has a greater mechanism for water transference. Another is phloem, which is responsible for food conduction.<span>
