It is meant primarily to produce red blood cells.
Answer:
The correct answer would be the pulmonary vein and the superior vena cava.
Pulmonary vein is a blood vessel of pulmonary circulation which carries oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Hence, it is rich in oxygen and carries carbon dioxide in the least amount.
In contrast, vena cava is a part of systemic circulation and carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart. They are two venae cavae in human beings namely; inferior vena cava (carries blood from lower body) and superior vena cava (carries blood from head, arms and upper body). Hence, it contains maximum carbon dioxide and least oxygen.
Answer:
(a) <u>16</u> % of the alien genome is comprised of G.
(b) 17% of the alien genome is comprised of T.
(c) 17% of the alien genome is comprised of A.
(d) <u>22</u> % of the alien genome is comprised of X.
Explanation:
Assuming the alien follows Chargaff's rules which states that DNA from any cell of any organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases.
So if:
16% contains C ; 16 % pairs with G = 32% C-G pairing.
22% contains Y ; 22 % pairs with X = 44% X-Y pairing.
44% G-C + 32% X-Y = 76%
100%-76% = 34% the remaining should be split between T and A which is 17% each one.
