What did chargaff discover while studying bases in the DNA of organisms

Biology

Answer: Chargaff discovered two rules while studying bases in the DNA of the organisms. These rules are as follows-

1) In a DNA molecule, total number of adenine is equal to the number of thymine. Similarly, the number of guanine is equal to the number of cytosine. This gave hint about the base pair makeup of the DNA.

2) The amount of these bases that is A, T, C, and G vary from one species to another species. This gave hint about the genetic material of the organism, which is DNA rather than proteins.

While studying bases in the DNA of organisms, Chargaff discovered that the ratios of thymine and adenine were similar, as were the ratios of guanine and cytosine.

How are babies made?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The genetic material in the sperm combines with the genetic material in the egg to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. You're not actually pregnant until that bundle of new cells, known as the embryo, travels the rest of the way down the fallopian tube and attaches itself to the wall of your uterus.

Explain the process of cross-pollination.
Anna007 [38]

Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.

Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.

Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.

Explanation:

In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.

The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.

Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general.  It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.

The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.
