Answer:

The ratios of thymine and adenine were similar, as were the ratios of guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

Chargaff's Rule:

  • Erwin Chargaff, an Austrian chemist investigated the amount of the four nitrogenous bases in a sample of DNA.
  • Chargaff observed that the purines and pyrimidines existed in a 1:1 ratio. The concentration of thymine was equal to that of adenine. Moreover, the concentration of cytosine was equal to that of guanine.
  • On the basis of the ratios, Chargaff proposed that, in DNA, adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always pairs with guanine (G).

A clinical indication that someone may have low blood calcium levels is the Chvostek sign (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia). The aberrant twitching of muscles that are stimulated (innervated) by the facial nerve  (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII) is known as the Chvostek sign.

The facial muscles on the same side of the face will occasionally contract when the facial nerve is touched in front of the ear (called ipsilateral facial spasm). Frequently, the muscles that regulate the nose, lips, and brows will spasm.
