Recall the three discoveries Erwin Chargaff made while studying DNA: the total amount of pyrimidines (T+C) equals the total amou
nt of purines (A+G), the amount of T equals the amount of A, and the amount of G equals the amount of C. These three "rules" led to what conclusion(s) about DNA base pairing? A purine base pairs with a pyrimidine base.
Chargaff contributed in understanding the structure and composition of DNA with his discoveries. He discovered that purine and pyrimidine bases are in equal amounts in a DNA molecule. He also discovered that amount of Adenine base (A) is equal to amount of Thymine base (T). It means that A pairs with T. Since A is a purine and T is a pyrimidine it also implies that purine base pairs with a pyrimidine base. This conclusion can also be arrived by taking in consideration the other base pair which is G (purine) and C (pyrimidine).
Explanation: The Dracunculus medinensis is a parasite that is often referred to as a roundworm. The answer Nematoda is correct because is is the phylum that classifies roundworms and is greek for "roundworms"
