The melting point of DNA with 50% GC content = 104 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

DNA has a base pair of bonds between adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine. These bonds are hydrogen bonds.

Three hydrogen bonds between guanine-cytosine and two hydrogen bonds adenine-thymine make denaturation of DNA by heating it requires greater heat energy.

The amount of guanine and cytosine in the DNA molecule (the GC content) is directly proportional to the melting point, the temperature at which DNA is denatured

If we plot between the melting point of DNA (y-axis) and the percentage of the GC content (x-axis) we will get a straight line equation

From the equation of the line (y = 0.5x + 79), with GC content 50%, we enter the GC value as x so we get the DNA melting point as y

y = 0.5.50 + 79

y = 104 °C

We have the equation of the line as follows:
y = 0.5x + 79

We want to calculate the melting point (the y value) of DNA  with 50% gc content (the x value).
The gc content represents the value of x in the equation, so to calculate the melting point (y), we will simply substitute the x with 50 in the equation of the line as follows:
melting point = 0.5(50) + 79 = 25 + 79 = 104 degrees

Answer:

If we are working in a coordinate plane where the endpoints has the coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) then the midpoint coordinates is found by using the following formula:

midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22)

A circle has an area of 78.5 square inches what is the radius of the circle
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle = 78.5 in²

πr² = 78.5

3.14*r² = 78.5

r^{2}=\frac{78.5}{3.14}\\\\=\frac{78.5*100}{3.14*100}\\\\=\frac{7850}{314}\\\\r^{2}=25\\r=\sqrt{25}=\sqrt{5*5}\\\\

r =  5 in
