Does the distribution of bases in sea urchin DNA and salmon DNA follow Chargaff’s rules? a) Yes, because the %A approximately eq

uals the %T and the %G approximately equals the %C in both species. b) No, because %A + %T does not equal %G + %C in both species. c) No, because %A is higher than %T, and %G is higher than %C in both species. d) Yes, because the %A + %T is greater than the %G + %C in both species.

Answer:

A. Yes, because the %A approximately equals the %T and the %G approximately equals the %C in both species.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, in all cellular DNAs, the number of adenosine residues (A) is equal to the number of thymidine residues (T). And the number of guanosine residues (G) is equal to the number of cytidine residues (C). Therefore, the sum of the purine residues equals the sum of the pyrimidine residues (A+ G= C+ T). It is based on the fact that a purine base always pairs with a pyrimidine base in a double helix DNA.

Chargaff’s rule is followed in all the double-helical DNA molecules irrespective of the species. In DNAs of sea urchin and salmon, the percentage of adenine is equal to that of the thymine and the percentage of guanine is equal to that of the cytosine. Therefore, Chargaff's rule is followed.

In detail why even though all cells are composed of the same basic parts, the structure of cells can be very different??
scZoUnD [109]
Firstly, there are major differences in cell structure between animal and plant cells such as how plant cells have cell walls, large central vacuoles, and a basic rectangular shape, and how animal cells are generally rounder, and have lysosomes and centrioles. However, as an embryo to a fetus, all of us develop stem cells that can be anything and eventually are specialized. This is how we have blood cells which are specifically engineered to compose the blood, and how we also have epithelial cells which compose the skin. Both of these types of animal cells look completely different, but that is because their specialization is not the same despite the fact that their basic parts can be. In order to have specialized cells, they need to adapt and develop a certain structure to function.

Which of these describes the bond formed by a weak attraction between water molecules?
MrMuchimi

Answer:hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Opposite charges attract one another. The slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule attract the slight negative charges on the oxygen atoms of other water molecules. This tiny force of attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This bond is very weak.
