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.

what has 4 valence electrons, shows properties of metals and non metals, and has 32 protons in the nucleus of each atom
12345 [234]
Here is your answer

\bold{Germanium}

REASON:

Elements which have 4 valence electrons are generally metalloids.

The metalloids show the properties of both metals and non-metals.

We know that,

no. of protons= Atomic number

So,

Atomic no.= 32

Hence,

The element is Germanium which is a metalloid with 4 valence electrons and has 32 protons in nucleus of each atom because it has atomic no. 32
