The two samples of `DNA,` `A` and `B` have melting tempreatures `(T_(m)) 340` and `350 K`,respectively. Can you draw any conclusion from this data regarding their base content?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The `B` sample of `DNA` having hegher `T_(m)` must be having more `GC` content as compared to sample`A`, since `GC` base pair having three hydrogen bonds (as compared to `AT` base pair having only two hydrogen bonds) results in stronger bonding.

Two trains A and B moving with speeds 20m//s and 30m//s respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with B ahead of A . The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from f_(1) = 800 Hz to f_(2) = 1120 Hz , as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus 320 Hz . The speed of sound in still air is 340 m//s . The speed of sound of the whistle is
