According to Chargaff's rules, in a DNA molecule if Adenine is 30%, what is the percentage of Guanine?

Answer: 20%.

  • A 30%
  • B 20%
  • C 10%
  • D 40%

Correct answer: B. 20%

Explanation: Chargaff's rule: A=T and G=C. If A=30%, then T=30%. Remaining 40% is split equally between G and C. So G=20%.

Enzyme Kinetics: Rate vs Substrate Concentration[Substrate]Reaction rateVmaxKm½VmaxCurve flattens at high [S]: ALL enzyme active sites are occupied (saturation)

As substrate concentration rises, reaction rate increases steeply at first, then plateaus at Vmax once every enzyme molecule is working at full capacity; Km is the substrate concentration giving half-maximal rate, and a LOWER Km means the enzyme reaches that rate with less substrate (higher affinity).
