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%

Nastasia [14]

1) Generally speaking, bean plants have fewer than 100 nodules, soybean plants have several hundred, and peanut plants can have 1,000 nodules or more. Cut-open nodules from a legume displaying the reddish-pink colour of an active, healthy nodule.

2) Both of them have roots that extend far into the cup in an effort to find food to survive. Both of them have nodules.

3) The radish just occupies the cup's centre; the beans basically fill the entire space. not as many nodules as a bean plant.

what are nodules ?

On the roots of plants, particularly legumes, that collaborate with bacteria that fix nitrogen, root nodules can be seen. Capable plants develop a symbiotic association with rhizobia, a host-specific strain of bacteria, when nitrogen is scarce.

What is acute toxicosis? what is chronic toxicosis? what distinguishes these from each other?
inysia [295]
<span>Toxicosis describes the detrimental effects of uptake of a toxin into the body. The terms acute and chronic basically concern the time scales over which this uptake of the toxin occurs. Acute exposure to a toxin occurs over short time scales, such as over hours or days. Very often, acute exposure is exposure to high doses, that can often cause dramatic health effects. Very often, acute effects to a toxin include death. In contrast, chronic exposure occurs over longer time scales, such as weeks, months or years. Much lower doses are required to result in chronic effects, and these effects are often sub-acute effects such as reduced growth or reproduction. </span>
