If a cells nucleus has 55% adenine bases, how many cytosine bases will be present?

1 answer:

8 0

If a cell’s nucleus has 55% adenine bases it also has 55% thymine bases, so the percentage of cytosine bases is 45% as same as guanine bases.

This is known as Chargaff's rule which states that DNA should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases (the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the same thing with adenine and thymine).

DNA molecule globally has percentage base pair equality: %A = %T and %G = %C.

True or false: in the sequence aggcct, an available phosphate group would be found at the 5' end of the nucleotide labeled "t."

Oksanka [162]

The answer is false.

an available phosphate group would be found at the 5' end of the nucleotide labeled A. The 5′-end of a DNA contains a phosphate group that is attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring and that A phosphate group permits ligation of two nucleotides ( phosphodiester bond).
