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

Biology

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.

HELP PLEASE<br> Why do you think genetic diversity is an advantage of sexually reproduction?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Genetic diversity is an advantage of sexual reproduction because it reduces the occurrence of unfavorable genetic traits and a variety of genes would lessen the chance of the extinction of a population due to environmental changes. The variation between a genetically diverse species will guarantee at least some of it survive when presented with different climates or challenges.

Which answer correctly explains how the ATP molecule differs in function from the ADP molecule? (1 point)
Vesna [10]
ATP has more energy potential. It is like a very strong, charged battery. The most energy is stored in the 2nd and 3rd phosphates. If one is released, it becomes ADP. That is like a weak battery.
