"Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA

, can you use it to predict the amounts of all four nucleotide bases when you only know the amount of one type of base? Approximately 21% of the human genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the human genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, and A."

Answer:

C- 21%

G- 21%

A - 29%

T - 29%

Explanation:

Four nucleotides make up the DNA molecule, and the sum of all four nuceleotides must equal 100% i.e.

A + G + C + T = 100%

If A -T and G - C pairs in the DNA, it means they each nucleotide must contain same proportion as its complementary pair. Therefore, if C is 21%, G is Al 21%.

Hence, 21 + 21 = 42%

We are left with the proportion of the other two nucleotides (A and T). We find it by saying 100 - 42 = 58%

Hence, if A and T must contain equal proportion, each will contain 58/2 = 29%.

The proportions of the four nuceleotides are 21, 21, 29 and 29 % for C, G, A and T respectively.

Answer:

G - 21%

T - 29%

A - 29%

Explanation:

Nucleotide bases in DNA are complementary. Adenosine (A) binds to Thymine (T) while Cytosine (C) binds to Guanine (G). Hence the composition of A in DNA is the same as that of T; and that of C is the same as that of G.

From the information given, C is 21%

Therefore G is also 21% of the genome as  C is bound to G, the therefore are the same proportion.

C and G make up 42% of the genome (that 21% + 21%).

The remaining 58% (100%-42%) is made up of A + T

Similarly the proportion of A is equal to that of T,

Hence A is 29% (half of 58%) and T is 29%.

Why is water so important for metabolic reactions
Delvig [45]
Water is used in many reactions in the body, both enzymatic and chemical. Water within blood and lymphatic system is responsible for the transport of hormones, antidotes oxygen and nutrients.
Metabolism can be described as entirety of chemical reactions which take place within a cell, the result of which is energy for processes which take place in the body.

I don't what it wants me to answer, if you understand it please help​
Over [174]

Hello!

An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.

The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.

An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.

The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.

The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.

The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.

The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.

Hope this helps!
