Yes because organism have their own dna if something in rna changes the whole thing changes. If the rna changes the protein will change. Like an insertion,deletion or substitution will change the coding.

Chargaff's analysis of the relative base composition of DNA was significant because he was able to show that

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C) The amount of A is always equivalent to T, and C to G

Explanation:

Chargaff's rule was given by the Austrian chemist, Erwin Chargaff in late 1940s. It explains the composition of the four bases i.e. Adenine(A), Guanine(G), Thymine(T) and Cytosine(C) in a DNA molecule. According to it, purine and pyrimidine bases are always found in 1:1 ratio in a DNA molecule. A and G are purine and T and C are pyrimidine bases and a purine always forms a pair with pyrimidine base hence the amount of A will always be equal to T and amount of G will always be equal to C. This rule forms the basis for the Watson and Crick pairs in DNA double helix model.
