A DNA sample contains 30% cytosine. What percentage of the sample would be thymine?

Biology
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

30% Thymine

Explanation:

If 30% of Adenine is present, it would be reasonable to assume that 30% of Thymine will be present, as the ratio between the two complementary nitrogenous bases will be roughly equal.

Therefore, that leaves us with 40% between Cytosine and Guanine. Since the ratio between them would be equal, it gives us 20% of Cytosine and 20% of Guanine.

<u>Therefore:</u>

30% of A + 30% of T + 20% of C + 20% of G = 100% DNA

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?
sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.

What is the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination?
Serhud [2]

The correct answer is that during cross-pollination the pollen grains are carried from one plant to another plant. During self-pollination, the pollen and ovules are from the same plant.

In self-pollination, the pollen from the anther is deposited on the same flower's stigma, or on the stigma of another flower of the similar plant. In comparison, out-crossing or cross-pollination results in greater genetic diversity as the pollen grains and ovules are obtained from different plants.

A recessive gene for red-green color blindness is located on the X chromosome in humans. Assume that a woman with normal vision
agasfer [191]

Answer:

25%

Based on Mendelian inheritance 4 offs-pings were produced,

XX  haemophiliac first  girl

XX carrier  girl

XY HAEMOPHILIAC first  boy

XY normal second boy

Since the father of the woman is  haemophiliac, then she is a carrier fro haemophilia  (although with normal vision) who inherited the allele of the the sex-linked X chromosomes from the father.
