The DNA of a certain organism has adenine as 40% of its bases. What percentage of its bases would be guanine?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)10%. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

We use the following equivalence, remembering that Adenina pairs with Timina and Guanina with Cytosine:

A=T   ; C=G   A+G=T+C

If A= 40% ----> T=40%

A+G=T+C

40%+G= 40% +C   ---->  40+10=50

G=C=10%

Evidence of glacial action can be observed all over the park. Which of these are way
Maru [420]

Abrasion, plucking, deposition, and physical weathering are the glacial actions which can be observed all over the park.

Explanation:

When the huge ice masses slope down to fall over the land surface during a glacier, many glacial actions or processes take place which defines the landforms formed on the surface. These actions include abrasion, plucking, deposition, and physical weathering.  

Abrasion is an erosive process which scrapes the surface of ice rocks and other frozen rocky material beneath the ice and causes striations over the rocks.

Plucking also an erosive process plucks the frozen rocks beneath the ice surface.

Physical or freeze-thaw weathering causes water to enter the cracks in the rocks when the temperature increases. This water enters inside and freezes inside when the temperature goes down. This repeated melting and freezing of water destabilizes the rocks and will break the rocks.

These materials which are worn off are transported and deposition on the land surface when the glacier settle down.  

Longshore drifts occur along coastlines and brings materials along the coast when waves move at an angle with the coastline.

Two plant species live in the same biome but on different continents. Although the two species are not at all closely related, t
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

The convergent evolution is a very interesting evolutionary process that is also very helpful when ti comes to explaining how the evolution actually works. This type of evolution appears when two or more different species, be it plants or animals, live in places that are isolated from one another, but have the same or very similar living conditions. The species then evolve in a very similar manner despite them not being closely related at all, bu the response from them is the same in order to survive in the environments that provide the same conditions. If the conditions are very harsh, hot, and dry, thus a desert, then the two plants will develop the same or very similar features. They will have very hard leaves that stop the loss of water. The amount of leaves will be very low. The root systems will be disproportionately large. They will both have the ability to extract humidity from the air. The chances are also very high that they will both have thorns for protection, as well as certain amount of poison in them for the same purpose.
