9. What is the base-pair rule for RNA?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: The base pair rule for RNA is that adenine pairs with uracil, thymine pairs with adenine and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Explanation: RNA contains adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine while DNA contains adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. Thymine is not found in RNA while uracil is not found in DNA. In RNA base pairing, Watson and Crick proposed a rule that wherever adenine is found in DNA, Uracil occurs in the complementary RNA strand, wherever thymine is found in the DNA strand, adenine is found in the complementary RNA strand and wherever guanine occurs in the DNA strand, cytosine is found in the complementary RNA strand.

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.

What do plants and other producers do? How do producers and consumers use it?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Plants and other producers generate their own energy, which allows them to grow, reproduce, and live. They are the only living organisms on the planet that can produce their own supply of food energy, which makes them unique. They, of course, require sunlight, water, and air to survive.
