Answer:

65

Explanation:

The DNA segment has a total 95 cytosine bases. Since cytosine makes hydrogen bonds with guanine base, this means that the DNA segment has a total 95 guanine bases.

Total guanine + cytosine bases in the segment= 95 + 95 = 190

So, a total of adenine and thymine bases in the DNA segment= 320-190 = 130

Since the number of adenine and thymine bases are equal in a double-stranded DNA molecule, the number of adenine bases in the given segment would be= 130/2= 65

What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
cricket20 [7]
Ionic bonds result when electrons are tranfered between atoms. Covalent bonds result when valence electrons are shared between atoms. You should be able to identify whether an ionic or covalent bond is being formed between atoms.
