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.

katrin [286]
1) As blood groups A and B are equally dominant so the individual will express both characteristics in the phenotype. 
Notice how in all the 3 other examples the organism is only expensive 1 version (allele) of each gene. For example the mouse with brown fur may have 2 brown fur alleles (and so would have to express this characteristic even if it was recessive) but it could have 1 allele which is less dominant than the brown, in which case brown would be expressed. In this case the alleles were not co-dominant.

The sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be
hichkok12 [17]

The sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be AUGCGAUUA.

<h3>What is transcription?</h3>

Transcription is the first stage of gene expression in which mRNA sequence is produced from a DNA template.

During transcription, the following applies to the DNA molecule being transcribed:

  • Adenine base (A) is transcribed into Uracil (U)
  • Guanine base (G) is transcribed into Cytosine (C) and vice versa.
  • Thymine base (T) is transcribed into Adenine (A)

Therefore, the sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be AUGCGAUUA.
