The correct answer is "p<span>ick up the gun by the edge of the grip and carefully remove it."

Before assessing the airway, breathing, and the circulation of the trauma patient; one should first survey the scene before performing basic life support. The gun is a potential harm in doing first aid for this patient as the patient's reflexes, involuntary hand movements, or spasms can accidentally pull the trigger and hurt more people. </span>

An organism's genome is analyzed and found to contain 18% guanine. What percentage of that organism's DNA is adenine?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff in his complementary base pairing rule, he stated that the proportion of purine and pyrimidine bases is equal to 100%

That is, A + T + G + C = 100%

Where A=T and G=C i.e the proportion of each base pair is equal.

Hence, if the Guanine content is 18%, it means the Cytosine content of that DNA molecule must also be 18%. Therefore:

18 + 18 + A + T = 100

A + T = 100 - 36

A + T = 64

If the sum proportion of Adenine and Thymine is 64% and each must contain equal proportions, A or T = 64/2 = 32

Hence, Adenine contains 32%, likewise Thymine.

Which coin paradox calls for the ability to assess when more force is needed?
krek1111 [17]
The answer to this question would be: the more force used, the less effective it is.

Sometimes, more force in counterinsurgency can cause a less effectivity. It was called paradox because with more force you should expect more results and more efficiency. But more force could mean higher possibility for collateral damage which can cause loss, not gain. An overwhelming force also might be pictured as brutality.
