An intact length of dna consists of 320 total nucleotides (160 nucleotides/strands). a total of 95 cytosine nitrogen bases are f

ound in the entire segment. How many molecules of adenine would be found in the segment of dna?

Answer:

65

Explanation:

The DNA segment has a total 95 cytosine bases. Since cytosine makes hydrogen bonds with guanine base, this means that the DNA segment has a total 95 guanine bases.

Total guanine + cytosine bases in the segment= 95 + 95 = 190

So, a total of adenine and thymine bases in the DNA segment= 320-190 = 130

Since the number of adenine and thymine bases are equal in a double-stranded DNA molecule, the number of adenine bases in the given segment would be= 130/2= 65

Fossils of the same organism found in widely separate areas can tell scientists a lot about the ancient?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Ancient landmasses

Explanation:

The same fossils being found in widely separate areas can help scientists infer the geography of the continents of that time.

For example: Africa and South America used to be connected during the Permian Period.

Scientists can confirm this because both continents are home to similar fossils.

What is the difference between an endoskeleton and a exoskeleton? What types of animals have each?
dsp73

Answer:

an endoskeleton is a skeleton on the inside of a living creature. look at endo like enter, its on the inside! an exoskeleton is on the outside of a living creature. think of exo as exit, its on the outside! animals with endoskeletons are like dogs, cats, fish, and raccoons. animals with exoskeletons are like spiders, ants, crabs, and snails.

Each biological species is genetically isolated from other species. why do the species evolve independently?
Nookie1986 [14]
Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.

Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.

Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

Hope this helps! :)
