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%

Why was it important for Miller and Urey to sterilized the apparatus to kill any bacteria in it?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Having bacteria would produce organic molecules and defeat the whole purpose of the experiment which is to make organic molecules from inorganic molecules. The experiment was supposed to demonstrate the formation of the first organic molecules that initiated life on primordial earth. It is believed that lightning powered the formation of the first simple amino acids, like glycine, from the primordial atmosphere which was mainly composed of carbon dioxide and methane.

The human hands and feet have similar types and numbers of bones. However, hands and feet are very different in their appearance
Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u>Explanation:</u>

One physical difference between the hands and feet is that the human hands appear to be more flexible than our feet. Also, in terms of size, our feet are smaller than our hands.

Let's assume that our feet become as flexible as our hands and the hands less flexible, it would affect the function they perform.

  • If for example, we were to walk with our hands we will fail to achieve stability.
  • And if for example, we decide to grab hold of items with our feet we will be unable to do so.

It is also reasonable to expect other primates to have hands and feet that differed from ours because they are necessary so they can adapt to their environment just like humans too.
