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%

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)

Which of the following describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Some of these can easily be eliminated by knowing that both nitrogen 14 and nitrogen 15 are isotopes ( same element, with the same amount of protons, but with different numbers of neutrons) of nitrogen. So if the only difference between nitrogen 14, 15 , and regular nitrogen is the amount of neutrons...how many protons and electrons should both nitrogen 14 and 15 have? After thinking, you should be able to eliminate A, B,and C.
