You analyze a DNA sample and find that its base composition is 30% A, 20% T, 30% G, and 20% C. What can you conclude about the s

tructure of this DNA?
Because A equals G, and T equals C, this must be a double-stranded DNA molecule.
Because A does not equal T, and G does not equal C, this cannot be a double-stranded DNA molecule. It must therefore be a single-stranded DNA.
Because A is half as much again as T, and G is half as much again as C, this must be a mutated double-stranded DNA molecule.
There is not enough information to determine whether it is a single-stranded or a double-stranded DNA molecule.

Answer:

Because A does not equal T, and G does not equal C, this cannot be a double-stranded DNA molecule. It must therefore be a single-stranded DNA.

Explanation:

The base composition in the observed DNA sample does not follow the Chargaff rule. If it was a double-stranded DNA, the percent proportion of adenine base and thymine base should be equal (either 30% or 20% for both). Similarly, the percent proportion of guanine and cytosine bases must also be equal  (either 30% or 20% for both). Since the given sample does not follow it, it is not a double-stranded DNA molecule but is present as a single strand.

The apical bud of a shoot produces ________, resulting in the inhibition of lateral bud growth.
In-s [12.5K]

Auxin, which is produced by the apical bud, encourages the growth of apical buds while inhibiting the growth of lateral buds that are located lower on the stem, toward the axillary bud.

<h3>What does a shoot's apical bud produce?</h3>

Auxin, a hormone produced by the apical bud, travels via the plant's circulatory system (phloem) down the stem and prevents axillary buds from expanding, which would otherwise result in the production of additional side shoots from the plant cells.

<h3>What function does auxin serve?</h3>

Auxin plays a crucial role in controlling plant growth and development by regulating embryonic development, root and stem tropisms, apical dominance,and the transition to blooming..

<h3>What are the four roles that auxins play?</h3>
  • Its primary uses are to stimulate shoot growth in culture and to enhance lateral and accidental shoot growth.
  • aids in overcoming auxin-induced apical dominance.
  • encourage the development of leaves' chloroplasts.
  • encourages the mobilization of nutrients and delays leaf senescence.
