Bacteria and other microbes can be used to "clean up" an oil spill by breaking down oil into carbon dioxide and water. Two sampl

es isolated from the Deepwater Horizon leak in the Gulf of Mexico were labeled A and B. The DNA of each was isolated and the percent thymine measured in each sample. Sample A contains 17.7 17.7 % thymine and sample B contains 28.9 28.9 % thymine. Assume the organisms contain normal double‑stranded DNA and predict the composition of the other bases.

Answer:

For sample A, A=17.7 %, T=17.7 %, G=32.30%, C=32.30%

For sample B, A= 28.9%, T=28.9%, G= 21.10%, C= 21.10%

Explanation:

The composition of nitrogenous bases in DNA is calculated using the suggestions proposed by the results of the experiment performed by Erwin Chargaff.

He found that in a DNA sample the composition of purine to pyrimidine is 1:1. This indicates that the amount of purine equals pyrimidine. This can be presented as purines + pyrimidines= 100. Also, adenine binds thymine and cytosine binds guanine.

In the given question,  

<u>For sample A </u>

A= 17.7 %, Therefore, thymine will be = 17.7 %,

A+T= 35.40%

Now, G+C=100- 35.40%

G+C= 64.60%

content of G= 64.60/2= 32.30%

content of C= 32.30%

<u>For sample B </u>

T=28.9%, A will be= 28.9%

A+T= 57.80%

G+C=100-57.80%

G+C= 42.20%

Thus content of G will be= 42.20/2=21.10

content of C= 21.10%

Thus,  

For sample A, A=17.7 %, T=17.7 %, G=32.30%, C=32.30%

For sample B, A= 28.9%, T=28.9%, G= 21.10%, C= 21.10%

Answer:

1. Jetty: Hard structure Built Perpendicular to the Shore, Can cause sand build-up on up drift side of the structure

2. Beach Nourishment: Brings in more sand to replace erosion.

3. Seawall: Hard structure that also provides flood protection, Prevents erosion by directing waves back to the ocean

Explanation:

Jetty is a hard and long structure that constructs of wood or concrete near the coastline, perpendicular to the shore that protects it from tides and currents which helps in preventing erosion. It can lead to build-up of sand on updrift side.

Beach nourishment is the process that replaces the sand or land that lost due to erosion and relensihsh the infrastructure of the coastline and protects the people and beach.

Seawall is also a hard provides protection from erosion by preventing the flood and pushes back the currents and tides to the ocean.
