If a DNA molecule is found to be composed of 40% thymine, what percentage of guanine would be expected.

Biology

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Chargaff postulated the complementary base pairing rule, where he stated that in the DNA molecule, Adenine (A) will always pair with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C) i.e. A-T, G-C

Chargaff stated that the concentration of purines (Adenine and Guanine) is always equal to that of pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine) i.e. {A} + {G} = {C} + {T}

These equal concentration equals 100% in totality i.e. A+G+C+T= 100%

Thymine pairs with Adenine, if there is 40% of Thymine in the DNA molecule, it means there will be 40% of Adenine also. 40 + 40 = 80%. This leaves us with 100-80 = 20% for Guanine and Cytosine.

Since there will be an equal amount of Guanine and Cytosine too, Guanine will therefore, be 20/2 = 10%.

That is, 10% Guanine, 10% Cytosine.

Memory cells may take the form of B cells. T cytotoxic cells. T helper cells. All of the choices are correct.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Having considered how an appropriate primary immune response is mounted to pathogens in both the peripheral lymphoid system and the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, we now turn to immunological memory, which is a feature of both compartments. Perhaps the most important consequence of an adaptive immune response is the establishment of a state of immunological memory. Immunological memory is the ability of the immune system to respond more rapidly and effectively to pathogens that have been encountered previously, and reflects the preexistence of a clonally expanded population of antigen-specific lymphocytes. Memory responses, which are called secondary, tertiary, and so on, depending on the number of exposures to antigen, also differ qualitatively from primary responses. This is particularly clear in the case of the antibody response, where the characteristics of antibodies produced in secondary and subsequent responses are distinct from those produced in the primary response to the same antigen. Memory T-cell responses have been harder to study, but can also be distinguished from the responses of naive or effector T cells. The principal focus of this section will be the altered character of memory responses, although we will also discuss emerging explanations of how immunological memory persists after exposure to antigen. A long-standing debate about whether specific memory is maintained by distinct populations of long-lived memory cells that can persist without residual antigen, or by lymphocytes that are under perpetual stimulation by residual antigen, appears to have been settled in favor of the former hypothesis.
