AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the amount of cytosine in the DNA extracted from the Streptococcus bacterium, we can follow these steps based on Chargaff's rules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Chargaff's Rules**: Chargaff's rules state that in a double-stranded DNA molecule, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to the amount of thymine (T), and the amount of cytosine (C) is equal to the amount of guanine (G). 2. **Identify the Given Information**: The problem states that the proportion of adenine (A) is 28%. ...

In a double - stranded DNA , one of the nitrogen base is adenine, whose amount is found to be always equal to the amount of

Read the below Statements about the structure of genetic material and identify the correct ones. I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure , cytosine, thymine and uracil are based with a single ring structure . II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA , DNA adenine pairs with uracil and RNA adenine pairs with thymine. III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesised during transcription follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine. IV. The two Polynucleotides on a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are anti-parallel to each other.

The percentage labelling (mixture of H_(2)SO_(4) and SO_(3)) refers to the total mass of pure H_(2)SO_(4) . The total amount of H_(2)SO_(4) found after adding calculated amount of water to 100 g oleum is the percentage labelling of oleum. Higher the percentage lebeling of oleum higher is the amount of free SO_(3) in the oleum sample. What is the amount of free SO_(3) in an oleum sample labelled as '118%'.
