If a strand of DNA is 7% Adenine, what percent Cytosine is it?

Biology
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

43 % cytosine  

Explanation:

The complementary base pairs in DNA are A-T and C-G.  

Thus, if the strand is 7 % A, it is also 7 % T.

If 14 % of DNA is A-T base pairs, it is 86 % C-G.

Half of the 86 % is C, so the DNA is

43 % cytosine

What is the relationship between gauge pressure and true pressure?
Zepler [3.9K]
As true pressure we denote the absolute pressure. <span>
Gauge pressure is the pressure above the ambient pressure </span>(it is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure). Absolute pressure <span> is equal to gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.</span>So, according to this the gauge pressure is always less than the absolute pressure.

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.
