Answer: The correct answer is A) A+C=G+T

According to Watson and Crick base pairing-

In a double stranded DNA molecule, Adenine pairs with Thymine and Guanine pairs with Cytosine. This means that number of Adenine in one strand is equal to the number of thymine in the complementary DNA strand. Similarly, the number of Cytosine in one strand is equal to the number of Guanine in the complementary strand.

Thus, the total number of Adenine and Cytosine in one strand becomes equal to the total number of Guanine and Thymine in the complementary strand.

This can be mathematically written as- A+C = G+T

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

DNA is an acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid or in Indonesian it is also called deoxyribonucleic acid. Its chemical structure is in the form of complex macromolecules consisting of 3 kinds of molecules, namely:

  • pentose sugar (deoxyribose)
  • phosphoric acid
  • nitrogen base.

The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, recipes, or codes, because it contains the instructions needed to build other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules.

James Dewey Watson (born in Chicago, April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist known primarily as one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA molecules. He received the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins in 1962 for discovering the structure of nucleic acid molecules and their means for transferring information.

Francis Harry Compton Crick (born in Northampton, England, June 8, 1916 - died in San Diego, California, United States, July 28, 2004, at the age of 88) is a British biologist. In 1949 Francis obtained a Ph.D. at Cambridge University. In the early 1950s together with James Dewey Watson, he discovered the substance of the form of DNA. For his discovery, he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Watson and M.H.F. Wilkins.

Discovery of the Structure of Human DNA

James Watson at that time was a young scientist. This Chicago-born man began working at the Cavendish Cambridge Laboratory in 1951. Meanwhile, Francis Crick is a physics graduate from University College London and has helped develop radar and magnetic mines during World War II. Crick also wrote a dissertation on the crystallography of X-ray hemoglobin when Watson began joining the laboratory. Inspired by the success of other scientists working with molecular models, Watson and Crick quickly collected several DNA models and tried to combine all the evidence they could gather. They used photographs from previous X-ray scientists and used microscopes. The result, they managed to find the structure of human DNA. Based on the crystal photo from Franklin, Crick and Watson solidified their theory of the structure of DNA, which states that the structure of DNA is in the form of a double-helix, or double spiral, twisting. The twisted spiral is a set of gene codes called 'Adenine / Adenine' (A), 'Thymine / Thiamine' (T), 'Guanine / Guanine' (G), and 'Cytosine / Cytosine' (C). They published their theory in the Journal of Nature, in 1953.

A bacterial sample has a cell density of 1.85 x106 CFU/mL. What plate dilution should yield a countable plate? Which two dilutio
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacterial count in stock- 1.85x10^6 cfu/ml

Dilution methods

Take 100 uL or (0.1ml) from stock and add to 900ul (0.9ml) saline and mixed it- this makes 10^1dilution.

Now take 100ul from 10^1 dilution and add to next 900ul saline this is 10^2 dilution, similarly do upto 10^5 dilution.

Then take 100ul from 10^ 4 and 10^5 dilution seperately and plate on LB agar plate seperetely and count the colonies.

Cfu/ml formula= (No.of colonies x dilution factor)/0.1 ml

So suppose, 18 colonies formed on 10^4 dilution then total no. Of cells in stock will be 18x10^4/ 0.1= 18x10^5 cfu/ml.

If we dilute 10^4 or 10^5 that's leads to colony count of 18-19 colonies on 10^4 dilution while 2 colonies should come on plate of 10^5 dilution.

Which of the following explains why the Midwest is not suffering as severe damage from acid rain as are the northeastern states?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a. Midwest has few sources of acid rain-forming pollutants.

Explanation:

Midwest has few sources of acid rain-forming pollutants because Midwest has  less number of factories which produces less pollution. Farming, mining, and manufacturing of different products are the major industries Midwest. Other industries like transportation, finance, and machinery are also important for the economy of Midwest. Due to less number of factories less amount of pollutants goes to the atmosphere and will not cause acid rain.
