Suppose you were in charge of sending an unmanned space probe to a new planet in search of life. The probe would be able to coll

ect and test samples and make observations, but the planet is too far away for the probe to be able to bring samples back to Earth. The probe is small and would only be able to run a few tests, so you want to pick a test for evidence of life that is broad enough to incorporate all forms of life as we know it. Which one of the following tests would be the best to use in this situation?a. a test for the presence of large organisms capable of movement b. a test for the presence of things that change size quickly, since it would be an indication of growth and development c. a test for the presence of soil suitable for growing plants d. a test for the presence of cells that contain DNA

If a molecule of DNA has 30% Adenine how much of the other bases will be present?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

If a DNA molecule has 30% Adenine the percentage of the other bases is Thymine: 30% Cytosine: 20% Guanine: 20%.

Explanation:

When the percentage that a base has in a DNA molecule is given, the percentage of the other bases can be known using the Chargaff's base pair rule.

A DNA molecule has the information of the genome of a living being, according to a specific sequence of its nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

Chargaff was able to establish that in a DNA molecule the ratio of purine : pyrimidine of 1:1, so there must be the same amount of thymine as adenine and a similar amount of guanine for the cytosine, taking into account the complementarity of bases.

Taking into account the law of the base pair, if in a DNA chain there is 30% of Adenine, in the molecule there is:

  • <em>Adenine 30%. </em>
  • <em>Thymine 30%. </em>
  • <em>Cytosine 20%. </em>
  • <em>Guanine 20%. </em>
  • <em>Total ..... 100% </em>

In this case, the <u>Chargaff rule is useful to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases that exist in a DNA molecule, knowing the percentage of a single base</u>.

How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?
Lana71 [14]

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

How is reproduction similar between humans and flatworms
Mila [183]
<span>Reproduction (or procreation) is the biological process by which new "offspring" individual organisms are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual. In asexual reproduction, an individual can reproduce without involvement with another individual of that species. The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells is an example of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not, however, limited to single-celled organisms. Most plants have the ability to reproduce asexually and the ant species Mycocepurus smithii is thought to reproduce entirely by asexual means. Sexual reproduction typically requires the involvement of two individuals or gametes, one each from opposite type of sex. The propagation of organisms can also occur through cloning. Hope this HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :</span>
