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

Biology

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.

Bess [88]

Answer:

<u><em>This is because the enzymes might work best at higher temperature than 37 degrees Celsius. Increase in temperature will increase the catalysis of the reaction.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>When the temperature is increased, the molecules possess greater kinetic energy. This will allow more substrate and enzymes to collide. As a result, there will be more enzymes taking place in the reaction which will cause the rate of the reaction to increase.</em>

<em></em>

However, if the temperature goes too high, then the shape of the active site of the enzymes will get changed. The enzyme will deactivate and the reaction will stop.

The awareness of being masculine or feminine as those traits are defined by culture.
Nina [5.8K]
It is very true that masculinity and femininity are very strongly dependent on the society in which these terms are used. While there are genetic differences underlying the phenotype of being more masculine (having a bigger jaw, more hair on the body), there are also a lot of societal factors determining what is considered to be masculine and what feminine in a society.
