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.

Which of the following factors might cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division? Check all that apply. Neurological signa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Neurological signals sent from fear responses in an organism tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. The cell's DNA was replicated incorrectly.

Explanation:

All the three options given can cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division.

Checkpoint genes are transcription genes that control cell cycle and sense defects during cells processes like DNA replication, segregation e.t.c and create response till the defects is repaired in the DNA. The important of checkpoint is that it ensure enough nutrients are available to support for division, ensure that the DNA has not been damaged, ensure that cells DNA is copied correctly and make sure cells have enough RNA for their protein synthesis.

Checkpoints genes can interrupt cell division if the dna is damaged, Dna is copied incorrectly and neurological signal sent from fear responses in an organisms tell the cells to stop.
