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%

telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is d) distal humerus fracture</em>

Explanation:

The humerus is one of the three bones which join to make up the elbow joint. A break in the lower end part of the upper elbow results in distal humerus fracture. Such types of events are caused due to high energy collisions such as during an accident. The distal humerus fracture can be treated through a surgery. During the surgery, the normal motion of the humerus is tried to be restored.

What roles do proteins play in organisms?
NikAS [45]
They play huge role in organisms, every living organism needs proteins.
- enzymatic role ( they build enzymes which lower an activation energy in reactions and increase reaction speed)
- hormonal role (they build hormons)
- structural role (for example keratin)
- transport role ( for example hemoglobin)
- energetic role ( for example aleurone grains in plant cells or they are used to gain energy in human organism when it's out of lipids and carbohydrates)
