Answer:

Well, you already have the answer, but I can try to elaborate XD

So, DNA: contains genetic information that is necessary for biological functioning and reproduction.

More specifically, it contains the genetic instructions through gene encoding that instructs the cell what to do. A specialized complex ribosome interacts with the DNA molecules and "reads" it, changing the genes from the DNA into proteins that the cell as a whole can function upon. It is also crucial to forming a whole cell in offspring, since only the genes from the two parents combined (in humans at least) can produce an offspring with all genes intact. Those who do not have genetic disorders, a famous one being Down Syndrome.

Next, RNA: a molecule necessary for expressing genes and making proteins.

Connecting to the paragraph above for DNA, RNA also assists in the process by reading the ribosome that reads the DNA itself. Complicated, I know. All you have to know, however, is that the RNA, in this case called mRNA since it serves as a messenger, hence, the "m", reads the codons produced by the ribosome when it reads the DNA, and makes proteins according to those codons, and those proteins then scatter all across the cell to execute instructions.

Now, we move onto nitrogen and phosphorous: both are found in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

That is actually partially wrong. Amino acids do not contain phosphorous, but do contain nitrogen. Not exactly sure what went wrong on your end there, but nitrogen is a basic building block for amino acids, which are basic building blocks themselves for proteins. To be more clear, amino acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. No phosphorus there!

Finally, enzymes: special proteins that accelerate chemical reactions in cells.

This is correct. Enzymes typically lower the activation energy required for reactions to happen. More specifically, enzymes make the reaction molecules more active, hence, lowering the threshold for the amount of energy you have to put in before the molecules start crashing into each other hard enough to have a chemical reaction. Of course, enzymes do not participate in the reaction itself, which makes them incredibly useful for spurring on chemical reactions since they can be used multiple times.

Yes i know the answer is long

ididnt know how big or small you wanted it

so......yea

hope it helps

If a dna analysis reveals that a cell has 60 ng of adenine and 20 ng of cytosine, how much thymine and guanine are in the cell?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Thymine= 60 ng

Guanine= 20 ng

The complementary base pairing occurs between adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine bases.

Explanation:

According to the Chargaff rule, a double-helical DNA molecule has an equal number or equal amount of adenine and thymine bases since adenine always pairs with thymine. Similarly, the amount of guanine base is equal to that of the cytosine base.

Chargaff rule is based on the complementary base pairing between purine and pyrimidine bases. According to the given information, the amount of adenine is 60 ng. Therefore, the cell would have 60 ng thymine. Similarly, the amount of the cytosine base in the cell is 20 ng which means that the cell would have 20 ng of guanine base.
