Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,

can you use it to predict the amounts of all four nucleotide bases when you only know the amount of one type of base? Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the human genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, and A. (a) _____% of the human genome is comprised of G.
(b) _____% of the human genome is comprised of T.

(c) _____% of the human genome is comprised of A.

Enter your answer as three numbers separated by commas (example: 12, 26, 32).

Answer:

The correct answer will be- 21, 29, 29

Explanation:

In a DNA sequence, the nucleotide base pairs on one strand of DNA are  complementary to the base pair on other strand of DNA.

According to the Chargaff rule, Adenine binds Thymine and Cytosine binds Guanosine which shows that the amount of A will equal T and the amount of G will equal C.

Therefore, when the amount of C is 21%, then the amount of G will be 21%.

To find amount of AT= 100-GC

                              AT= 100-42

                                AT= 58%

So, AT/2= 29% each

Thus, A=T= 29%

          G=C=21%

What environmental worldview is seen by critics as focused on short-term economic benefits with little regard for long term harm
attashe74 [19]
I believe the answer is the global free-market approach.
It is because on continually increasing use of earth's natural capital, and it focuses on short term economic benefits with little regard for degradation and depletion of natural capital and resulting long-term harmful environmental, health, and social consequences. Environmental world views are the ways of thinking about how the world work and beliefs that people hold about their roles in the natural world, another factor is widespread lack of understanding of how earth's life-support system works, keeps us alive, and supports economies.
