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.

A sample of glucose contains 1.250x10^21 carbon atoms, how many atoms of hydrogen does it contain?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Hydrogen = 2.5 * 10^21

Explanation:

Chemical Formula Glucose: C₆H₁₂O₆

One of the ways you could do  this is to notice that for every carbon atom there are two Hydrogen atoms. You can state this more formally by using the formula to set up a ratio: 12/6 = hydrogen to Carbon

So if there are 1.250 * 10^21 Carbon atoms in the Glucose sample, then there will be twice as many hydrogen atoms.

H = 2 * 1.25 * 10^21 = 2.5 * 10^21 atoms

You could do this more formally by setting up a proportion.

6 Carbon / 12 Hydrogen = 1.25*10^21 /  x         Cross Multiply

6*x = 12 * 1.25*10^21                                           Combine the right

6x = 1.5 * 10^22                                                  Divide by 6

x = 2.5 * 10^21
