Answer:

90 Thymine bases

Explanation:

Chargaff's rules states that in the DNA of any organism, the amount of purine and pyrimidine bases must be in a 1:1 ratio. This means that the amount of Adenine and Guanine bases (purines) should be equal with their complementary pairs of Thymine and Cytosine bases respectively (pyrimidines). (A = T) + (G = C) = 100

Hence, according to this question, if there are 60 cytosine bases, this means that there will be 60 Guanine bases. 60 C + 60 G = 120 pyrimidines

300 total bases - 120 pyrimidine bases = 180 purine bases.

180/2 = 90 equal bases of Adenine and Thymine. Hence, Thymine bases will be 90.

Define energy and power and describe the relationship that exists between them.
bagirrra123 [75]
Energy is ability to work or function. Power is the amount of energy transferred to an object.
When energy is transferred to an object or has energy it moves and power is the energy put in a object, meaning they work together to move the object

If electrons were used in the two-slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord
Andrei [34K]
In order to conduct the two-slit experiment with a beam of electrons, the slit opening has to be smaller than the opening for the light waves. This is because the wavelength of the electron beam is lower, which means it will pass through the large slit without diffracting. Diffraction will occur if the spacing is reduced. The reason that electrons have a smaller wavelength is because they have a higher energy than light waves.
