If a DNA molecule is found to be composed of 35% thymine, what percentage of cytosine would be expected, and why?

1 answer:

4 0

We use Chargaff's rule to get the answer. [A] + [G] = [C]+ [T]. [A] + [G] + [C] + [T] = 100% Where is A is Adenine, G is Gaunine, T is Thymine and C is Cytosine. In DNA, Adenine always pairs with Thymine, and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine. Therefore if Thymine is 35%, then Adenine will also be 35% to make 70% in total. The remaining percentage will be 100% - 70% = 30%. The 30% will be shared equally among Cytosine and Guanine, at 15% each. Therefore Cytosine will be 15%

olga_2 [115]

Answer - Yes! of course. For better outlook you want to be in a city like Miami, FL U.S or someone populated cause that is where your able to find patients in need of recover. Other then that we will always need occupational therapy assistant because its crucial to the recover with some help and maintenance.

Reasoning - It is in fact true because in a city you can find a populated are that probably fractured their hand and needs some assistant for help recovery if the main doctor is not there.
