Answer:

If a DNA molecule has 30% Adenine the percentage of the other bases is Thymine: 30% Cytosine: 20% Guanine: 20%.

Explanation:

When the percentage that a base has in a DNA molecule is given, the percentage of the other bases can be known using the Chargaff's base pair rule.

A DNA molecule has the information of the genome of a living being, according to a specific sequence of its nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

Chargaff was able to establish that in a DNA molecule the ratio of purine : pyrimidine of 1:1, so there must be the same amount of thymine as adenine and a similar amount of guanine for the cytosine, taking into account the complementarity of bases.

Taking into account the law of the base pair, if in a DNA chain there is 30% of Adenine, in the molecule there is:

Adenine 30%. 
Thymine 30%. 
Cytosine 20%. 
Guanine 20%. 
Total ..... 100%

In this case, the Chargaff rule is useful to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases that exist in a DNA molecule, knowing the percentage of a single base.

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Biochemical test

Explanation:

In microbiology biochemical test is used to examine the metabolic activities performed by bacteria to identify that microorganism. So in biochemical test enzymatic reaction of cell is usually investigated because there is difference in enzymatic activity of different species of bacteria.

For example, catalase test that is used to differentiate between catalase-positive and catalase-negative bacteria is an example of biochemical test. Catalase-positive bacteria have the catalase enzyme that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen which is confirmed by bubbles that appear on glass slide.

Catalase negative bacteria do not form bubbles when they are put in hydrogen peroxide which shows that they lack catalase enzyme. So the right answer is A.

Which term refers to the study of how an organ functions?

vaieri [72.5K]

[ Answer ]

Physiology

[ Explanation ]

Physiology is the study of the functions and mechanisms in which your body works. It is how your body keeps you alive and how each part functions differently. It is how your organs, organ systems and cells keep you alive. They all perform different functions, but they all work together. It is almost like a car. Each part is different. The brakes stop the car, the gas makes the car go, this does this and that does that. However, even though they are all different, they all have one job; to make the car go from one location to the other. Physiology is the study of how each organ or cell does it's job. They explore deeper and reveal it's actual function.

What type of sound is particularly effective for many marine mammals because it allows sound to travel for very long distances i

kifflom [539]

They produce narrow-band high-frequency sound to help them navigate in water. These high-frequency sounds are used in echolocation. Echolocation is used to identify and locate prey and also avoid the predators. Marine mammals like whales and dolphin use echolocation in different manners.
