"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%.

What are stem cells? Where are they found?
Debora [2.8K]
Following the treatment, the Fetal Stem Cells will travel throughout the body, detecting damaged cells and tissue and attempts to restore them. The Fetal Stem Cells can also stimulate existing normal cells and tissues to operate at a higher level of function, boosting the body’s own repair mechanisms to aid in the healing process. These highly adaptive cells then remain in the body, continually locating and repairing any damage they encounter.

(-4) + (-4) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: 14

Explanation:

(-4) + (-4) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

Recall that BODMAS rule must be obeyed

Address bracket first, and note that plus sign multiplied by minus sign becomes minus

so, (-4 - 4) + 6+6+5 + 5

(-8) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

= (-8) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

= (-8) + 22

= 14

Thus, the answer is 14

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The processes of diffusion in diagram A and B is that one side of the membrane is hypertonic. The other side is hypotonic. Based on this, Diagram A shows that the one space has no solute particles causing the particles to move against gradiation. The movement is shown in Diagram B. This process is used to equalize the solute particles in the solution.

2. In the diagram C, we can see that enough particals have moved over to the other side, or against the concentration gradient. The solution is now isotonic or equilibrium.
