Answer:

C) The amount of A is always equivalent to T, and C to G

Explanation:

Chargaff's rule was given by the Austrian chemist, Erwin Chargaff in late 1940s. It explains the composition of the four bases i.e. Adenine(A),  Guanine(G), Thymine(T) and Cytosine(C) in a DNA molecule. According to it, purine and pyrimidine bases are always found in 1:1 ratio in a DNA molecule. A and G are purine and T and C are pyrimidine bases and a purine always forms a pair with pyrimidine base hence the amount of A will always be equal to T and amount of G will always be equal to C. This rule forms the basis for the Watson and Crick pairs in DNA double helix model.

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.
