Dna has unique properties that allow it to accurately retain genetic information, even after multiple rounds of replication. one
bonufazy [111]
There are four different bases that make the DNA molecule:
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine.
Due to chemical properties of the bases, there are two pairs of bases that are complementary, Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine.
So, if we have 16% of Adenine, there must be the same amount of Thymine, since they only appear in a pair.
16% of Adenine + 16% of Thymine - 32 %
the rest of the abundance of the bases can be calculated by subtracting the 32% out of the 100%: 100-32 = 68
So, Guanine and Cytosine make up 68% of the bases, and a half of that number is the amount each of the bases has in the total amount. 68/2= 34
16% Adenine -  16% Thymine
34% Guanine - 34% Cytosine

Which is true about adaptations?
Lunna [17]
I think there was a part missing but adaptations are when an organism has specific traits that help them survive in an environment, this does not occur over one animals lifetime, it happens over generations. So it would be like if everything set on fire, only the animals that had traits to withstand the fire would reproduce and have offspring. Then that species is adapted to the fires
