Answer:

40%

Explanation:

In order to make this calculation it is necessary to take into account the concept of base complementarity where it is known that the 2 strands of DNA bind together by base complementarity in which adenine binds to thymine and guanine to cytosine, this reason if they tell us that 10% is adenine the other 10% is thymine, so the rest will be guanine and cytosine (80%), so the percentage of guanine will be 40%.

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
