Answer:
With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).
Explanation:
The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:
- <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
- <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>
From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
<em> 5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>
Answer:
Independent assortment
Explanation:
The law of independent assortment says that genes for different traits or characteristics assort independently from each other during gamete formation. So each contrasting character's pair assort independently and do not show any association with the pair of other characters.
So after gamete formation collectively the gametes have all the possible combinations of alleles because all the genes are assorted independently in gametes.
This independent assortment of traits leads to some new combination of characteristics in the offspring. Therefore the correct answer is independent assortment.
Plants' stomata refers to the small pores that are found on plants' tissues and leaves. They possess the ability to open and close and thus they regulate water and gases exchange in plants. Green plants have the ability to produce their own food by using the energy from the sun;the process is called photosynthesis. During the day, when there is sunshine, the plants' stomata are always open in order to trap energy from the sun for photosynthesis. The stomata also allow carbon dioxide and oxygen gases to diffuse in and out of the leaves' cells. The stomata usually closes at night in order to prevent excessive water loss.
