Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Remember that guanine always pairs with cytosine, and thymine always pairs with adenine. That means that any time there is a guanine, there is always a cytosine.

If there are 10% guanines, then there are 10% cytosines. That means the total of guanines and cytosines is 20%.

The other 2 bases (thymine and adenine) have to make up the rest of the bases. That means they have to make up 100-20 = 80%.

Again, there will be equal amounts of thymine and adenine, so 80%/2 = 40%.

Part 1 - Pick one abiotic factor and change it dramatically. (Example: remove it completely or increase it A lot)
zubka84 [21]
1. Water is abioitic and is needed by every living organism Soil is abioitic and is needed by plants Trees and other plants release water vapor from their leaves (a process called transpiration) that create humidity (which in turn influences how much rain falls in an area) The climate in an area influences the special adaptations that plants and animals have. For example: warm fur coats and thick layers of fat to keep warm in cold climates, animals in dry, hot climates (desert) have large ears to release heat and cool down. Biotic factors also influence abiotic factors. Animals produce waste (go to the bathroom) which in turn will become nutrients in the soil.
2. decrease heat will affect biotic factors, like animals, warmth.

Hope this helped :)
