Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration's equation and word equations?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: A simple word equation that can be used to describe the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Overall, photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate.

Round seeds and yellow seed color are dominant to wrinkled seeds and green seed color. What is the probability of having offspri
adoni [48]

Answer:

<h2>The probability of a cross between RRYY x RrYy to generate a yellow and wrinkled seed offspring is 0%.</h2>

Explanation:

Circular and yellow seeds are overwhelming and wrinkled and green seeds are passive. It is vital to keep in mind that resective characteristics are as it were displayed when the sibling has two passive alleles for those characteristic, in the event that the descendant includes a latent allele and a overwhelming allele, the characteristic that will be presented is the overwhelming one. For this reason, able to say that a cross between RRYY x RrYy plants, would not create any descendant with wrinkled and yellow seeds. Typically since, the descendant of a crossing, must show an allele of each parent. One parent as it were has overwhelming alleles (RRYY), so able to say that all descendant will get 1 overwhelming allele for color and a overwhelming allele for seed surface, anticipating the sibling from communicating latent characteristics.

Why is photosynthesis is so important to life on earth?
azamat
Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. ... Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere: It is their primary source of energy. Hope this helps
