Answer: Option A) Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

First, the presence of thymine infers that the genome is DNA.

Then, to determine whether it is single or double stranded, we check if the sum of all nitrogenous bases is equal to 100%

A + C + G + T = 100%

28% + 35% + 20% + 17% = 100%

Since all bases makes 100%, we can conclude that the genome is a double stranded DNA

What would happen to a cell if its mitochondria stopped working? And why would it happen!?
mestny [16]
The cell would die. This is because mitochondria are essential for making energy that the cell can use, if the mitochondria stopped working this energy would not longer be available to the cell. If the cell does not have energy, it cannot perform vital functions like respiration.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A unicorn is a mythical creature that resembles a horse with a horn on its forehead. The unicorn could use its horn for self-defense. Some unicorns might also have wings so they could help the unicorn survive by escaping predators quickly. W could be for a winged unicorn (dominant) and w would be a unicorn without wings (recessive). L could be for a long unicorn horn, and l could be for a short horn. C would be a lighter fur color and c would be a darker fur color. That's all I could come up with for now :)
