A segment of dna has 320 nitrogen bases. if 40 of them are cytosine, how many are thymine

Biology

NISA [10]2 years ago
8 0
Correct answer - 120 for Thymine.

Why? - 320 Nitrogen bases.
Cytosine = 40, Cytosine = Guanine.
Therefore Guanine = 40.
320 - 80(Cytosine and Guanine)
240.
Adenine and Thymine = ?
Adenine = x and Thymine = x.
2x = 240.
X = 240/2
X = 120.
Adenine 120, Thymine = 120, Cytosine = 40 and Guanine = 40.

What do you do when your in deep love with someone but in a relationship with another person who loves you the same way as you l
Simora [160]
Oh sweetheart. Leave the person if you're clearly not in love with them as they are with you. You're only hurting yourself, and that other person. They deserve someone who loves them as much as they love. And so do you! Be with whom you love, and set that other person free. Yes its not going to be easy, but life isn't easy. That's just part of life and growing up.

An individual with Huntington disease has two normal parents. What are plausible explanations for this pattern of inheritance? C
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The Huntington disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies for the Huntingtin protein (Htt). The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron´s death in certain areas of the brain.

The Huntington disease characterizes for being,

  • Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease, a person must have been born with an altered gene.
  • Autosomal, affecting men and women equally, because the mutated gene is located on an autosomal chromosome.
  • Dominant, which means that by getting only one copy of the altered gene coming from any of the parents, the receiving person will express the disease. The mutation in the gene dominates over the normal gene copy.
  • Expressed by heterozygosis. Most people affected by the disease are heterozygous, with a normal copy and a mutated copy.

There are just a few cases all around the world (3% approximately) in which the disease is expressed with no family history. The progenitors are not affected by the mutation. These cases are very rare and are called <u>"de-novo" mutations.</u> A new mutation is spontaneously produced and it is not inherited from any of the parentals. It consists of an increase in the number of CAG repetitions. In a normal person, the number of CAG repetitions is less than 35. When there are 40 or more repetitions it occurs the disease. But when there are between 35 and 39 repetitions, the penetrance of the disease is incomplete. This is a "gray zone". Those alleles that fall in the gray zone are unstable and might produce the HD. Individuals with these unstable alleles have a tendency to increase the number of repetitions from generation to generation until the number reaches 40 repetitions and the person expresses the disease. This <u>usually occurs in the paternal germinal line</u>, as it is particularly unstable in sperm and probably meiosis greatly affects their instability, causing an increase in the number of CAG repeats.
