Answer:

The correct answer is -

Thymine: 20%

Guanine: 30%

Cytosine: 30%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule which states that the purine residues are equal to the pyrimidines residue in DNA sample which means A+G = T+C where A is adenine, G is guanine, C is cytosine and T is thymine. It is also known that A is always equal to T and C is equal to G.

So, A+G+T+C = 100

20+20+G+C

100-40 = G+C

60= G+C

as we know G is equal to C similarly A is equal to T

Thus, G = C= 30%

    A= T= 20%

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Biologists can grow specific plants to detoxify an area contaminated with heavy-metal pollution using the method of <u><em> Bioremediation. </em></u>

To rid an area of mosquitoes, biologists introduced a species of fish into bodies of water that feed on the mosquito larvae. This method is an example of <em>Biological Augmentation.</em>

Explanation:

Bioremediation can be described as a process which uses plants or microorganisms to detoxify contaminants that are present in an area. The enzymes of a plant or animal tend to break down the contaminants and hence, we can make an area rid of contaminants in this way.

Biological augmentation can be described as a method by which organisms such as bacteria are introduced in an area to get rid of wastes.

Explanation:

The biofilm is a natural way how the bacteria get together to survive in an ecosystem or in another living thing. They build little by little this kind of building with different layers of bacteria that secrets a polymer, this protection polymer could be useful to protect the colony or to be attach to another cell or to a tissue. In medicine and in veterinarian studies is interesting because can be useful to create a film to protect some injuries.

natali 33 [55]
If you were to compute this, Angle C should be equal to 100°.

In a triangle, all angles sum up to 180°.

In triangle ABC, where the m∠A =30° and m∠50°:

m
∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
30° + 50 + m∠C = 180°
80° + m∠C = 180°
m∠C = 180° - 80°
m∠C = 100°

The triangle should look like the picture attached.
