But this rule rule is applicable only for double stranded DNA molecule. The possibility of Adenine=40% and Thymine=60% is only in single stranded DNA molecule. In the question, the DNA sample referred is a single stranded DNA. hope it helps :D

Answer:

If the amount of adenine (A) is 30%, the amount of guanine (G) will be 20%.

Explanation:

As we know, DNA has four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).

These nitrogenous bases are complementary to each other, in this case, adenine binds to thymine and guanine binds to cytosine. For this connection to be carried out it is necessary that the DNA has the same amount of adenine and thymine and the same amount of cytosine and guanine.

For this reason, we can say that if DNA has 30% adenine in its composition, it also has 30% thymine in its composition. This gives a total of 60% of all DNA, which means that 40% is made up of guanine and cytosine. Therefore, guanine makes up 20% of the DNA and cytosine makes up 20%.

Which molecules of the adaptive defense system provide humoral immunity by circulating freely in the blood and lymph, where they
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adaptive immune defense system consists of lymphocytes like B-lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes. B-lymphocytes provides humoral immunity while T- lymphocytes provide cell-mediated immunity to the body.

99% of lymphocytes circulate freely in the blood and lymph. B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma B cells and B memory cells when interact with antigen presented by T helper cells.  

Then plasma cells secrete antibodies in the circulation which binds to extracellular antigens through antigen-binding site. Then the bounded antigen is recognized by receptors present on phagocytic cells. This receptor binds the Fc region of antigen bounded antibody and destroy the antigen by phagocytosis.

Otrada [13]

The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.

Explanation:

Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place.  Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.

This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.

Why is whitefish used to study mitosis
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The whitefish embryo is a good place to look at mitosis because these cells are rapidly dividing as the fish embryo is growing. ... This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing, like the whitefish embryo and the onion root tip. Mitosis can take several hours to complete.
