In samples of DNA isolated from two unidentified species in bacteria, X and Y adenine makes up 32% and 17%, respectively, of the

total bases. What relative proportions of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine would you expect to find in the two DNA samples? What assumptions have you made? One o the species was isolated from a hot spring (64°C). Suggest which species is the thermophilic bacterium and explain your choice in DETAIL.

Answer:

On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.  

The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.

How does the ribosome know how to make the protein.?
alexdok [17]
According to google

So the ribosome moves along way and many tRNA molecule transport the correct amino acid to make the correct sequence which is to be formed and only stops when mRNA shows 'STOP' codon. So there is a chain of polypeptide which is synthesised by copying the DNA and this is how proteins are made.

and for clarification t-RNA is transfer RNA and m-RNA is messenger RNA

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.
enyata [817]

<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
