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.

Answer:

The correct answer is plants have two parts life cycle spending one part of their life in diploid phase and the other part in the haploid phase,human spending their lives in diploid phase and produces gamets that are haploid.

Explanation:

There are two stages in the life cycle of plant one is gametophyte stage which is haploid and the other is sporophyte stage that is diploid.

    but in case of humans the overall life cycle proceed in diploid phase and produces gamets that are haploid.

    In case of human male produces haploid gamet known as sperm and the female produces haploid gamet know as ovum. The sperm and ovum fuses to form diploid zygote,
