The analysis of a DNA molecule reveals that 30% of its nucleotides are adenine. What percentage of the same DNA molecule would b

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%

In terms of energy resources, how do wealthier, developed nations compare
Luden [163]

Answer:

D. People who live in wealthier countries tend to consume more energy per person.

Explanation:

People in wealthy countries have access to many technologies such as phones, televisions, and house appliances like coffee makers. All of these use energy. Wealthy people also tend to have larger houses that require more electricity to light and heat/cool. People in developing countries do not have access to these technologies or large houses that consume large amounts of energy. Additionally, people in poverty are unable to afford the levels of energy that wealthy citizens can. For these reasons, wealthier countries consume more energy per person.
