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%

How can driving a car affect the carbon cycle?
alekssr [168]

Hey there, thx for posting your question to Brainly, i've posted some information below and an explanation, hope it helps you<3

Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, <em>carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2)</em>. Through the process of <u>photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.</u>

<u>Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.</u>

<u>Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in millions and millions of years.</u>

<u />

<u>Hey!</u><em> Hope i was able to help, have a good one.</em>
