If a DNA molecule has 24% adenine, what is the percentage of guanine in the same DNA molecule?

Answer:

26%

Explanation:

Adenine pairs with thymine.

Guanine pairs with cytosine.

If 24% of the DNA molecule is adenine, that means that there is 24% thymine. This is because they pair together so they have to be equal. That is 48% of the DNA molecule. To find the percentage of guanine, we need to minus 48% from the total 100%.

100 - 48 = 52

Then divide by 2 because you have guanine AND cytosine.

52/2 = 26

Therefore, your final answer is 26% of guanine is in the DNA molecule.

Manny is using a computer model to investigate the effects of substitution mutations. The model presents Manny with a long base
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The most likely explanation for the truncated polypeptide -due to the substitution of cytosine for adenine- is that mutation introduced a stop codon in the middle of the gene.

Explanation:

A codon consists of three nucleotides -in the RNA chain- whose order determines a specific amino acid. Not all codons code for amino acids, as there are termination codons, also called stop codons, which are UAG, UGA and UAA.

If in Manny's computer model, the substitution of cytosine by adenine produced a termination codon, the synthesis of a peptide is stopped prematurely resulting in a truncated peptide.
