If there is 13% guanine in a DNA molecule how much cytosine and thymine would there be ?

Answer:

13% cytosine

37% thymine

Explanation:

There are two types of nucleotides based on their structures - purines and pyrimidines.

The purines are adenine and guanine. The pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine.

Chargaff's rule states that the ratio of purines to pyrimidines in a molecule of DNA is 1:1

Therefore, the total number of A+G is the same at the total number of C+T.

All 4 bases together must equal 100% of the DNA molecule

If there is 13% guanine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine, there is also 13% cytosine.Together, that is 26% of the total sample.

100-26 = 74% of the total of adenine and thymine.

Since there are equal amounts of A and T, we know that the DNA sample is 74/2 = 37% thymine

If there are 10 chromosomes in a particular cell at the start of prophase how many will be present in the same cell at the end o
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.

In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.

Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.

Repressors are transcription factors that bind to _____________sequences in dna
Trava [24]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with operator.

Explanation:

The proteins that assist in turning on or turning off the function of a specific gene by getting combined with certain sections of the DNA are known as transcription factors. The transcription factors that activate the transcription of a specific gene are known as activators, while that prevents transcription and is termed as repressors.  

A repressor can be an RNA or a DNA binding protein, which prevents the articulation of genes by getting combined with the operator. A repressor, which binds with DNA prevents RNA polymerase from getting combined with the promoter, which further inhibits the transcription of the genes into mRNA.
