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 does the closing of the stomata limit photosynthesis?
ycow [4]

Answer:

Stomata opens to intake carbon dioxide in the presence of light there by allowing the process of photosynthesis during the day time.

Explanation:

The gaurd cell of the stomata play an important role in regulating the photosynthesis. During the day time, the stomata is open which allows intake of carbon dioxide from atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is very essential for the process of photosynthesis. Thus, during day time when stomata is open photosynthesis takes place while during night time when stomata is closed photosynthesis do not occur. Also the stomata regulate the loss of water from the leaves thereby ensuring availability of sufficient water molecules at the time of photosynthesis.
