Question

In a sample of yeast dna, 31.5% of the bases are adenine (a). predict the approximate percentages of c, g, and t. explain.

Answer 1

T would be 31.5% - the same as A. C and G would be about 18.5% each. A & T and C& G are always found in about the same percentages of each other. A = T (Total of 63%, subtract from 100 = 37% which will be equally shared by G and C at 18.5)
