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

What is the rock cycle
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Each rock type is altered when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. For example, an igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.

How much of your DNA comes from your mother? How much from your father?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Genetically, you actually carry more of your mother's genes than your father's. That's because of little organelles that live within your cells, the mitochondria, which you only receive from your mother.

While women do inherit 50% of their DNA from each parent, men inherit about 51% from their mother and only 49% from their father.
