In samples of dna isolated from two unidentified species in bacteria, x and y adenine makes up 32% and 17%, respectively, of the total bases. what relative proportions of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine would you expect to find in the two dna samples? what assumptions have you made? one o the species was isolated from a hot spring (64â°c). suggest which species is the thermophilic bacterium and explain your choice in detail.

On the basis of Chargaff's rule, in a double-helical DNA, A = T and G = C (Here A means adenine, T means thymine, G means guanine, and C means cytosine. For X, A is given 32%, therefore, T must be 32%, and the leftover 36% is to be distributed equally between G and C. Thus, G = C = 18% each.  

The assumption formed is that the DNA is a double-stranded structure. The species that exhibits higher G + C content in the molecule of a DNA is steadier at higher temperatures as it melts at high temperature. The species Y, which exhibits G + C in total as 66% is the thermophilic bacterium between the two.  

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.

answer; the tunica intima also called tunica interna, consists of elastic fibers,connective tissue and smooth muscle cells;
