If A = 30%, what are the percentage of the other three bases?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the percentage of DNA bases other than adenine (A) and thymine (T) when given the percentage of A in a DNA sample. It relates to the base pairing rules in DNA.
Answer
T = 30%, C = 20%, G = 20%
The percentages are Thymine (T) 30%, Cytosine (C) 20%, and Guanine (G) 20%.
Answer for screen readers
The percentages are Thymine (T) 30%, Cytosine (C) 20%, and Guanine (G) 20%.
More Information
According to Chargaff's rules, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to thymine (T), and the amount of cytosine (C) is equal to guanine (G) in a double-stranded DNA molecule.
Tips
Remember to always pair A with T and C with G when calculating DNA base percentages.
