Answer:

28% Thymine

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of four nucleotides namely: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). These nucleotides make up the DNA molecule unevenly, however, according to Chargaff in his rule, he stated that the amount of Adenine&Thymine, Guanine& Cytosine in a DNA must be equal, which must all equate to 100% i.e. (A = T) + (G = C) = 100%

Based on this Chargaff's rule, if a DNA sample is analyzed and found to contain 22% of cytosine. This means that the amount of Guanine in that DNA sample must also be 22%.

Therefore; 22% C + 22% G = 44%

100 - 44 = 56%. This means that Adenine and Thymine will share this 56% among each other i.e. 56/2 = 28% Adenine and 28% Thymine.

Are things around us usually made of pure elements or combinations of elements?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Things around us are usually made up of combinations of elements. These combinations are called molecules. Molecules make up combinations called compounds.

Water is an example. There are 2 oxygen atoms and 1 hydrogen atom (oxygen and hydrogen are elements). Together there molecules make up H2O (water) which is a compound.

I hope this makes sense! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

What is the function of ATP in living things?
Dahasolnce [82]

The function of ATP IN living organisms is that ATP is stored in all the cells for energy of all cells.

ATP captures the chemical energy by digesting food particles, breaking it down to deliver into the

cell process enough to disperse ATP throughout the bloodstream for energy to every cell of the body, to work properly in digestion, releases it to fuel all cells in the body, this is the last process for fuel in the cell system in the digestive process..
