Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases is equal to 100%.

Hence: A + C + G + T = 100%

Now, since adenine nucleotides is 30%, then thymine is 30% as well (A = T). Thus, the total of both is 60%.

From 100 remains 40% which is divided equally between guanine and cytosine, so each is 20%.

Thus, the percentage of the same DNA molecule that would be expected to be guanine nucleotides is 20%

How does DNA code for traits
trasher [3.6K]

The sequence of nucleotides in DNA genes determines the order of amino acids in a protein. This is the direct connection between your genes and your traits. The mechanism is a two-step process. First an enzyme transcribes a gene to an intermediate biochemical called ribonucleic acid, or RNA.

Which statement is not true about invertebrate animals?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

e) Invertebrates lack a nervous system

Explanation:

One of the main characteristics of invertebrates is that they don't have a backbone. Backbones belong to the skeletal system. A totally different story is the nervous system which runs inside the backbone. Although the more complex nervous systems appear in vertebrates the simply fact of having eyes like crabs or insects implies having a nervous system that can control them.
