Question

The higher the __________ content of a DNA, the ________ the melting temperature, and the ________ the ionic strength, the ________ the melting temperature. A:T; higher; higher; lower G:C; lower; higher; lower G:C; higher; lower; lower A:T; lower; lower; higher G:C; higher; higher; lower

Answer 1

Answer:

G:C, higher, higher,

Explanation:

G:C have 3 Hydrogen Bonds, A:T only 2. So, G:C bind stronger to each other, so higer ionic strengh and higher melting temperature.
