Answer:

If a strand of DNA contains the bases adenine, cytosine, cytosine and guanine the order  of the bases on the opposite strand is thymine, guanine, guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA contains a double strand, each of which contains a specific sequence of bases —adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine— whose order determines the genetic information stored in this nucleic acid.

The sequence of bases on one DNA strand is complementary on the other strand, taking into account the complementarity of bases, i.e. the purines adenine and guanine are complemented by the pyrimidines thymine and cytosine, respectively:  

A = T

G ≡ C

<u>So that the sequence A - C - C - G of one chain is complemented by the sequence T - G - G - C of the other</u>.

<em>     Taking into account the above information, the other options can be discarded, as they do not comply with the complementarity of bases in the DNA.</em>

<span>The action of Helicase is to create replication forks and replication bubbles. Helicase is the first step in the DNA replication process. Helicase is an enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bond between the parental DNA to free the DNA double helix. The area where it unwinds is called as replication fork.</span>

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

C) 19.7%

Explanation:

The new population distribution after climate change wiped out homozygous recessive dinosaurs is:

AA = \frac{4}{4+32}=\frac{1}{9}

Aa = \frac{32}{4+32}=\frac{8}{9}

The percentage of offspring of this new population that are homozygous recessive is given by:

P(Aa\ x\ Aa) = \frac{8}{9} *\frac{8}{9} =\frac{64}{81} \\P(aa) = \frac{1}{4}\\P(Aa\ x\ Aa) \cap P(aa) = \frac{64}{81}*\frac{1}{4} =0.197=19.7\%\\

19.7% of these newborn dinosaurs died

Answer:

C. CALVIN CYCLE(LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTIONS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food (organic matters in form of glucose) from carbon IV oxide and water molecules in the presence of sunlight.

The glucose formed undergoes two purposes; provision of energy and in the fixing of carbon.

This process involved two steps : The light dependent process and the light independent (Calvin cycle).

The light dependent reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane and requires supply of light energy.

ATP and NADPH are formed, water molecules are also formed.

The light independent reaction occurs in the stoma and does not require light energy. The process used the ATP and NADPH formed from the light dependent reaction to fix carbon and produce three carbon sugars.

So the Calvin cycle light independent reaction is involved in the fixing of carbon molecules into organic molecules in the absence of sunlight and the ATP and NADPH formed from the light dependent process of photosynthesis.
