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%

Lethal alleles (also referred to as lethal genes or lethal) are alleles that cause the death of the organism that carry them.

Lethal alleles can cause death of an organism prenatally or any time after birth, though they commonly manifest early in develop

All of the following would decrease the glycemic index of a food EXCEPT:
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b. adding butter. increasing the ripeness of fruit.

Explanation:

The addition of whole kernels helps to reduce the glycemic index (GI), because the larger the carbohydrate particle, the longer it takes the body to absorb it, decreasing the blood glucose peaks.

In addition, the addition of <u>lean</u> <u>protein</u> to meals helps to lower glucose spikes by reducing digestion time.

The addition of a fat like butter would not reduce the glycemic index due to its energy load (9 kcal per gram). In addition, increasing the ripeness of the fruit will also increase the GI.
