Answer:

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or ITP is also known as Immune thrombocytopenic purpura that is a disorder in which there is an abnormality in the clotting of blood due to a decreasing number of platelets in an individual.

Platelets plays role in clotting the blood to prevent bleeding so this disorder leads to easy bruising, bleeding gums, and internal bleeding. It is an autoimmune disorder as in this case, an immune reaction takes place against one's own platelets.

It occurs in all age and sex groups however, it occurs normally in young children and females more often.

This bonds to cytosine (C) in DNA.
shtirl [24]

Answer: <u>Guanine </u>

According to Chargaff's rule, the base pairing in the DNA and RNA is fixed. Adenine always pairs with Thymine in DNA and Uracil in RNA. Guanine pairs up with cytosine. This complementary base pairing is universal and constant. That's why amounts are also equal. It means if cytosine is 20% in any DNA sample, then amount of guanine would be 20% as well.
