How many hydrogen bonds will be involved in base pairing in a DNA molecule of 50 base pairs that contains 15 cytosine bases

The number of hydrogen bonds involved will be 39

Explanation:

There are 4 types of bases that exist in a DNA, which are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Double stranded DNA molecules have these bases attaching specifically to one another; adenine only binds to thymine and vice versa while guanine only binds to cytosine and vice versa. These two bases bonding together are referred to as base pairs and the type of bond here is the hydrogen bond. There are double bonds between the adenine and thymine base pair while there are triple bonds between the guanine and cytosine base pairs.

Thus, when there are 13 cytosine bases in a DNA molecule, the number of hydrogen bonds present in the resulting base pairs will be 13 × 3 (because cytosine binds with a triple bond to guanine).

13 × 3 = 39

The number of hydrogen bonds involved will be 39

i believe the answer is a or 1

only about ten percent of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to organisms at the next trophic level. the remainder of the energy is used in life processes or lost as heat.
