In an analysis of the nucleotide composition of DNA, which of the following proportions will be found?

Biology

katrin [286]3 years ago

Answer:

With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).

Explanation:

The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:

  • <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
  • <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>

From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

<em>     5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>

How do amphibians breathe on land and in water​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Most amphibians can breathe both through cutaneous respiration (through their skin) and buccal pumping - though some also retain gills as adults. Some aquatic salamanders (and all tadpoles) have gills and can breathe underwater thanks to them. The Mexican axolotl, for example, never loses its gills.

The process of DNA replication is described. Identify the enzyme that participates in each part of the replication process. DNA
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Helicase

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process in which DNA makes copies of itself.

The process of DNA  replication is supported by several enzymes.

The initial step of DNA replication is unwinding of double stranded DNA which is catalyzed by helicase enzyme. Helicase enzymes breaks the hydrogen bond between the  DNA strands and prepare them for replication process.

Hence, the correct asnwer is "Helicase".
