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

Biology

Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
8 0

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.

One method for separating polypeptides makes use of their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The solubility of any substance in water depends on its polarity. The polar molecule dissolves more easily in the water than the non polar molecule. Amino acids have different polarity at different pH.

(a) (Lys-Ala)3 : The (Lys-Ala)3 contain more positive charge and highly polar the at pH 7 as compared with the  (Gly)20 that remains uncharged and has less polarity.

(b) (Glu)20 :This amino acids negatively charged at pH 7 and highly polar than the (Phe-Met)3 which is non polar or less polar and hence least soluble  in water.

(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is highly polar at pH 3 as compared with the (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 that contains the carboxylate groups of Asp residues that are partially neutral. The  (Asn-Ser-His)5 contains = the imidazole groups of His residues are fully polar and soluble in water.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is polar at pH 6.0 because both have polar side chains Ser but (Asn-Ser-His)5 is only partially partially protonated due to the His side chains. Thus,  (Asn-Ser-His)5 is more soluble in water.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

VEGETATION

Explanation:

It is referred to as an infected mass due to the production of bacteria in one heart valves. This infected mass can be due to bacteria in the bloodstream during any dental work, or any similar process related to bloodstream. This infected mass is called VEGETATION and related to endocarditis which is composed of fibrin and platelets.

How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide produced by the normal DNA/mRNA sequence
aniked [119]
The number of amino acids that will be in the polypeptide chain produced by the normal DNA or MRNA sequence is usually 30 amino acids. Although the number of amino acids depends on the function of the generated DNA or RNA. The types of amino acids also differ depending on the function.
