Discover the relationships between the amounts of the nucleobases As and Cs per Chargaff's findings.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the discoveries made by Chargaff regarding nucleobases, particularly the relationships between adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). It appears to be a fill-in-the-blank question intended to assess knowledge on Chargaff's rules.
Answer
As = Ts, Cs = Gs
The final answer is that all the As were equal to the amount of Ts, and all the Cs were equal to the amount of Gs.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that all the As were equal to the amount of Ts, and all the Cs were equal to the amount of Gs.
More Information
Chargaff's findings were crucial for understanding the double-helix structure of DNA that was later described by Watson and Crick.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing which bases pair together. Remember A pairs with T and C pairs with G.
