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

Biology

artcher [175]3 years ago

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.

The immune system tries to stop invasions by foreign agents by either killing cells directly or by
salantis [7]
Directly The immune system is designed to defend the body against foreign or dangerous invaders. Such invaders include

Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi)

Parasites (such as worms)

Cancer cells

Transplanted organs and tissues

To defend the body against these invaders, the immune system must be able to distinguish between

What belongs in the body (self)

What does not (nonself or foreign) normal immune response consists of the following:

Recognizing a potentially harmful foreign antigen

Activating and mobilizing forces to defend against it

Attacking it

Controlling and ending the attack

If the immune system malfunctions and mistakes self for nonself, it may attack the body’s own tissues, causing an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus).
