Answer:

There should be 10% thymine

Explanation:

DNA bases come in specific pairs. Guanine pairs up with cytosine and adenine pairs up with Thymine.

According to the problem the DNA sample was 40% cytosine and 40% guanine, so this is correct, there are equal amounts of cytosine and guanine. Now Thymine needs to have equal amounts as adenine, but adenine only has 10%.

If we match up the amount of adenine to thymine, we would have 15% adenine and 15% thymine, but that would excede 100%. So you need to match the thymine to adenine.

10% adenine + 10 % thymine + 40% cytosine + 40% guanine = 100%

ndividuals III-6 and III-7 have two little monstersand are expecting a third one. Their two childrenhave two eyes. What is the c
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 75% or 3/4.

Explanation:

In the given question, there is a cross between III-6 and III-7 that produced two double eyes monsters and expected one more. As given in the image that the A or single eye is dominant over the a or double eye then both parents must be heterozygous as they produced double eye offspring (aa) and they do have only one eye.

then chances of single eye offspring would be -

cross: Aa and Aa

gametes: A, a and A, a

Punnett square:

           A      a

A         AA     Aa

a         Aa      aa

so there are 75% chances to have a single eye and 25% chances for a double eye.

Time on earth is divided into 6 eras. Three are considered "Precambrian" Which eras are NOT Precambrian?
bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

<u>the  Paleozoic Era </u>

The Precambrian era describes a period of time that pre-dates Cambrian. This time typically references the entire period of the history of earth before the formation of rocks containing identifiable fossils occurred. It covers the majority of Earth’s history and is divided into the Hadean, Archean and the Proterozoic era.

Just before the Cambrian eruption, in the  Paleozoic Era the environment was oxygenated, culminating in an explosion of new life in the Proteozoic Eon (2500-541 million years ago) in the form of primitive blue-green algae named cyanobacteria and oxygen based species. Multicellular species followed later, along with structure at higher levels, and complex life. Oxygen levels grew gradually over this period of time, from low levels.
