3 0

Answer:

480 nucleotides comprise this molecule of dna

Explanation:

According to Chargaff rule,

  •        Adenine is paired with thymine
  •        Cytosine is paired with guanine

Given in the question

Adenine residue = 120

Cytosine residue = 120

So, [A] = [T]

i.e. [A =120] = [T=120]

again, [C] = [G]

i.e. [C=120] = [G=120]

hence, total number of nucleotides present

=> [A] + [T] + [C] + [G]

=> 120 + 120 +120 +120

=> 480.

Phosphorus in soil is transformed into insoluble compounds unless what happens?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

It is not absorb by the plants, it turns into insoluble form.

Explanation:

Phosphorus in soil is transformed into insoluble compounds unless not used by the plants. The insoluble phosphorus is transform into soluble form in the soil by phosphorus solubilizing bacteria. The phosphorus solubilizing bacteria helps in conversion of insoluble phosphorus into soluble phosphorus which can absorb by the plants. If the phosphorus is not absorb by the plants and present for a long time, it can be converted into insoluble form which is unavailable for the plants which can be converted back with the help of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria.

lara31 [8.8K]
<span>We can hypothesize that when the population density reaches a certain level, that flour beetles experience biological stresses not unlike that seen other animals, such as mice, where it becomes more beneficial to the population as a whole to implement control measures to prevent a population collapse due disease or a sudden decrease in food; even though at the present time resources seem more than abundant to handle the increased population.</span>
