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%.

Why did Mendel want to control the pollination of his pea<br> plants?
Viefleur [7K]

Mendel wants to control the pollination of his pea plants because traits were not blended but they remain separate in the subsequent generations and also it is contrary to scientific opinion during his time

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly, he wants to control because they were against the scientific opinion during his time.
  • Mendel takes a pea plant for his experiment because it can be easily observable.
  • Pea plant has seven traits and it can be pollinated by both the ways. One is self-pollination and the other is cross-pollination.
  • Mendel did not know about the genes but he speculates the factors of formation in the traits.
  • Mendel produces three laws, the law of dominance, the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment.
