Answer:

It should be 22% (correct me if I'm wrong)

Explanation:

In the DNA of salmon there is 28% Adenine, and 28% Thymine. So the rest 44% of that will be Guanine and Cytosine. (Guanine pairs only with Cytosine) Therefore, Guanine and Cytosine will have same percentage, which will be 22% each in the DNA of salmon. And then Guanine and Cytosine together is 44%, like I already mentioned. So Guanine alone has 22%.

ACTH (Adrenocorticotrophic hormone) stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete its hormones.

hGH (Human growth hormone) also known as somatotrophic hormone is responsible for the growth of long bones, muscles and viscera.

TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) influences the structure of the thyroid and causes it to secrete thyroid hormone.

Meselson and Stahl used density labeling of DNA to show that DNA replication occurs via a semiconservative mechanism. In their e

Answer:

The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.

how could scientists test the hypothesis of different areas having lighter or dark skin pigmentation

Sergeu [11.5K]

scientists can test differences of the area with pigmentation by observing which is lighter and which is darker however they use microscope to look the difference of the pigmentation over the cells.
