Interpret Tables: Which Organism Has The Highest Percentage Of Adenine
1. Interpret Tables: Which organism has the highest percentage of adenine?
Yeast has the highest percentage of adenine at 31.3 percent.
2. Calculate: If a species has 35 percent adenine in its DNA, what is the percentage of the other three bases?
If a species has 35 percent adenine in its DNA, then the percentage of the other three bases sum up to 65 percent. A species would have 30 percent thymine, 15 percent guanine and 15 percent cytosine in its DNA.
3. Draw Conclusions: What did the fact that A and T, and G and C, occurred in equal amounts suggest about the relationship among these bases?
The fact that A and T, and G and C, resulted in equal amounts suggest that A is paired with T in a DNA sequence, while G pairs with C in a DNA sequence.

    Describe the structure of DNA.DNA is thread formed by two strands, related together to form a double helix. The double helix looks like a twisted ladder. The sides of this ladder are long unites called nucleotides and are made of three parts; a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. The sides of the ladder or the nucleotides from the two separate strands of the DNA are attached by an appendage made of one of four separate bases. These appendages represent the rungs of the DNA ladder and are attached to the complimentary strand of the DNA. The bases or rungs are made of either Adenine (A) OR Thymine (T) or Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The attachment of the strands by the bases is specific Adenine can only join with Thymine, and Cytosine can only join with Guanine. Since this base pairing is specific, if one knows the sequence of bases a long one strand of the DNA one will also know the strand of the DNA one will also know the sequence along the complimentary strand.…

    - Nucleotides are the subunits that make up DNA. Each nucleotide is made of three parts: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar molecule, and a nitrogen-containing base. While the sugar molecule and the phosphate group are the same for each nucleotide in a molecule of the DNA, the nitrogen base may be any one of four different kind: Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine. The DNA shown resembles a ladder twisted like a spiral staircase. The sugar-phosphate backbones are similar to the side rails of a ladder. The paired nitrogen bases are similar to the rungs of the ladder. The nitrogen bases face each other. The double helix is held together by weak hydrogen bonds between the pairs of bases.…

    DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains and these nucleotides consist of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The bases are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine. The sequence of these bases on DNA determines the structure of these proteins. A gene is a sequence of bases which codes for a single polypeptide. Chromosomes carry these genes and these genes come in specific forms called an allele which is how living organisms vary from each other. For example, humans are made up of an XY or XX chromosome. Females are XX and males are XY, however in some animals their sex is determined by the ZW sex-determination…

    There is something called base pairing. Each base on the DNA molecule has only one base. It will pair with a new mRNA strand. Because RNA contains nitrogenous base uracil (U) and DNA contains thymine, so whenever the DNA strand has adenine (A) the mRNA strand will have uracil (U).…
