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.

B cells interacting with helper t cells are stimulated to differentiate when _____.
madam [21]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) B cells produce IgE antibodies
B) B cells release cytokines
C) cytotoxic T cells present the class II MHC molecule-antigen complex on their surface
D) helper T cells release cytokines

The correct answer is "helper T cells release cytokines". Cytokines are released by helper T cells when B cells attach to them via receptors. These T cells "help" these B cells to differentiate by secreting certain cytokines. When B cells differentiate, they are converted to plasma cells and able to secrete antibodies to the antigen presented to the T cells. </span>

lesya692 [45]
<span>The bone with insufficient or abnormal collagen would fracture easily compared with a healthy bone. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies , and is found in muscles, bones, skin , blood vessels, digestive system and tendons. Collagen provides integrity, firmness and elasticity to their structures, such as bones. Therefore a healthy bone has high integrity and firmness and thus can resist fractures and other mechanical damages.</span>
