Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,

can you use it to predict the amounts of all four nucleotide bases when you only know the amount of one type of base? Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the human genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, and A. (a) _____% of the human genome is comprised of G.
(b) _____% of the human genome is comprised of T.

(c) _____% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Answer:

21% of the human genome is comprised of G

29% of the human genome is comprised of T

29% of the human genome is comprised of A

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule,

The double stranded DNA,contain purine and pyrimidine.Adenine makes pair with thymine and cytosine make bond with guanine.

 In the above problem,The amount of Cytosine is 21% thus the amount of guanine will be 21%

Total amount of cytosine and guanine=21+21=42

then the total amount adenine and thymine is =100-42=58

 The amount of adenine is=\frac{58}{2}=29%

 The amount of thymine is=29%

Phloem cells are __________. a. dead at maturity and are used to transport water from the roots to the rest of the plant b. dead
siniylev [52]

Answer: b. dead at maturity and are used to transport sugars throughout the  plant.

Phloem cells are the cells which transport the product of photosynthesis that is food from the leaves to other parts of the plant. A typical phloem consist of sieve cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma.  Sieve cells are elongated and they have minute pores which facilitates the transport of food through these pores. The phloem fibers provides mechanical support to the phloem. Phloem parenchyma cells are responsible for the storage of food. The process by which phloem transport food is called as translocation. Sieve cells are the main type of cells helps in food translocation, in maturity these cells looses their nucleus and ribosomes therefore, they die in maturity.
