Cytosine(C) binds with Guanine(C)

Adenine(A) binds with Thymine(T)

a.From here we can deduct that there are the same number of nucleotides of guanine that as cytosine=>G=45 base pairs

b.2A=100-G-C

   2A=100-90 2A=10 A=5 base pairs

Mariulka [41]
All of the systems that are aroused by the <span>sympathetic nervous system</span> are relaxed by the parasympathetic nervous system. 
<span>autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the central nervous system that controls all parts that the human cannot have a control on (which are done automatically) like heart rate and breath
ANS is divided in two opposite systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic:
</span>Parasympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "<span>rest and digest" it decreases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It increases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism resting (this happen after a meal).
</span>Sympathetic nervous system: caracterized by the tag "fight or flight" it increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and breath. It decreases the gastrointestinal motricity, letting the organism focus on its environment (this happen when we are in danger).

Genetic recombination plays a role in both maintenance and diversity within an organism. Explain how this balance is achieved an

Answer:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

Explanation:

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1), the random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1), and random fertilization are the mechanisms involved in genetic variation.

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants. After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.  

On the equatorial plane, homologous paired together, randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating.  Chromosomes of the homologous pair arrange to face any of the poles to migrate forward to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane. When the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. The order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes, being almost impossible for two gametes to have the same genetic charge.  

Independent assortment occurs when the alleles from two or more different genes distribute in gametes independently from each other. In other words, a gamete receives an allele from a gene that does not depend on nor influence the allele of another gene in the same gamete. This can only be applied to independent genes. An organism gets only one of the members of the chromatids pair of each parent.
