To compa' Map the relative amount of each base among the sources, he standardized the value of adenine to 10. Relative amounts of the other bases were calculated based on this value for adenine. The data are shown below Normalized Ratio Organism and Tissue Rat liver nuclei Rabbit liver nuclei Cat brain Carp muscle Yeast A 14.8 13.6 14.7 21.0 12.0 14.3 12.9 13.1 14.0 12.0 9.5 19.0 11.0 8.0 10 9.8 For rat liver nuclei, calculate the ratio of purines to pyrimidines.

Explanation / Answer

1. Rat liver nuclei = Purine/Pyrimidines
                    = A+G / C+U
                    = 10+14.8 / 14.3+12.9
                    = 24.8 / 27.2
                    = 0.91

2. Rabbit liver nuclei = 10+13.6 / 13.1+14
                       = 23.6 / 27.1
                       = 0.87

3. Cat brain = 10+14.7 / 12+9.5
             = 24.7 / 21.5
             = 1.14

4. The ratio of purine to pyrimidines is dependent on the species
