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

Biology
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago

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

The correct answer is - option C) sign language.

Explanation:

Washoe was a chimpanzee used in a research experiment. According to Beatrice and Allen Gardner, this chimpanzee is the first non-human to learn and communicative with the help of American sign language.

Which of these changes in the food web would cause a decrease in the population of bald eagles
bogdanovich [222]

The correct answer is C. A decrease in the population of sea ducks

Explanation:

Food webs are diagrams that represent the relationship of organisms in an ecosystem by showing feeding or predatory relationships. This means food webs show which organisms eats another organism. In the case of the food web presented, this shows bald eagles fed on sea ducks and large piscivorous fish, this implies for survival bald eagles need from these two organisms. In this context, a decrease in the population of sea ducks (option C) would cause a decrease in the population of eagles because fewer sea ducks imply less food for eagles, and therefore fewer resources to survive.

Gene expression might be altered at the level of post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes because o
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>As transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location,  post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes. </h2>

Explanation:

The transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location and can be co-translation.

As, in eukaryotes, the transcription occurs in the nucleus and then this transcript have to move in the cytoplasm to translation, so before reaching in the cytoplasm, various modifications occur in this transcript known as post transcriptional modification or processing ( include 5' capping, 3' poly-adenylation and RNA splicing).

As, in prokaryotes, both transcription and translation occur at same place so there is no time for modification for transcript because translation starts as the transcription is still going on.
