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%.

Suppose you discover a new form of a nucleic acid, XNA. Like DNA, it is double-stranded. You are interested in its mode of repli

victus00 [196]

Answer:

A: Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively

Explanation:

The replication of the DNA is semi conservative. This means that newly replicated double helix DNAs usually consist of one parental strands and one newly synthesized strands. The parental DNA unwinds and each strand serves as template for the synthesis of complementary strands.

In the case of XNA, the two strands of parental XNA were found intact, meaning that the newly produced XNA consist of two newly synthesized strands. This thus means that the replication process is conservative.

Hence, unlike DNA replication that is semi conservative, XNA replication is conservative.
