18%.
If a cell contains 32% cytosine then it contains the same amount of its base pair, guanine. That means 64% of the cell is cytosine and guanine. The remaining 32% must be adenine and thymine, of which there should be equal amounts. Therefore to fine the amount of thymine divide 32 in half, which gives you 18%.

Answer:

is it 18%?

Explanation:

I don't think this is correct, but the four bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. So, if there is 32% cytosine then there has to be 32% guanine because that pairs up with cytosine. so percentages are out of 100, meaning that 100-64=36 which is how much percent we have left for the other two bases. 36/2=18 which would be the percent of adenine and thymine because those two pair up in dna.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

need to be done with plenty of observation to avoid infection.

Explanation:

This technique is quite delicate because the main risk is infection. Some of the main risks are neuromuscular disease, sedation or neurological illness.

Another risk is that by passing the time, there is a difficult in respiratory, in this case, the main risk is directly to the heart, with some stoke, due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide due to the low exchange among oxygen and CO2.

Some of the indications are:

a.- Coarse crackles auscultated over trachea.

b.- Increase the respiratory pressure.

c.- Decrease tidal volume.

d.- Check the levels of oxygen in blood as in arteries.

e.- Check that patients can generate a cough.

Hope this info is useful.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two
andrew11 [14]
The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The correct matches are:

  1. In anabolic reactions that involve the synthesis of a large molecule from smaller precursor molecules, NADH and ATP are consumed when they provide the needed electrons or energy.
  2. In catabolic reactions that involve the breakdown of a molecule into smaller subunits, such as glucose to pyruvate, NADH and ATP are produced.
  3. In the reaction Pyruvate +NADH-Lactate +NAD, pyruvate is being reduced.
  4. In the reaction Pyruvate NADH-Lactate +NAD, NADH is being oxidized.

Explanation:

  • Being involved in synthesis, anabolic reactions require energy in the form of energy storing molecules such as NADH and ATP. Anabolic processes utilize energy produced by the catabolism of complex compounds.
  • Catabolic processes produce energy or energy storing compounds by breaking down complex substances into simpler ones. All steps of cellular respiration are catabolic processes since they generate energy in the form of ATP or energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2.
  • Anaerobic respiration takes place during intense physical activity due to which adequate oxygen does not reach the cells. Insufficient oxygen shuttles the pyruvate molecules produced by glycolysis into the lactic acid pathway that reduces pyruvate into lactic acid.
  • Since, NADH is donating its H+, it is being oxidized to NAD+.
