If a double-stranded segment of DNA has been found to have 23 purines and 15 thymines, how many guanines are there?

Biology
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: 4 Guanines

Explanation: Following Chargaff's ratio that describes the ration of purines to pyrimidines as 1:1, if there are 23 purines, it follows that there should be 23 pyrimidines; 15 Thymines should therefore be hydrogen bonded to 15 Adenines by complementary base pairing.

We are then left with 8 nucleotides composed of guanines and cytosines in complementary base pairs. This means that half that number (4) should be guanines and the rest cytosines.

If a researcher has a DNA sample with a concentration of 0.6 micrograms per microliter, how many microliters of DNA must be tran
Art [367]

Answer:

0.325 microliters

Explanation:

1 microgram = 1000 nanograms

DNA sample concentration= 1000 X 0.6 = 600 nanograms / microliters

We need a total of 50 microliter reactions, and the concentration should be 3.9 nanograms per microliter.

So, we need total 50 X 3.9 = 195 nanograms in 50 microliters.

Therefore, it required 195 / 600 = 0.325 microliters of DNA sample to be transferred.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Antidiuretic hormone

Explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone that is synthesized and produced in the brain by the hypothalamus, is secreted from the pituitary gland, where it is stored. This hormone is released into the blood stream in response to changes in the water balance in the blood. This hormone helps the kidneys to control and regulate the amount of water in the blood
