Question

The amount of Thymine bases in a segment of DNA is 40%. What would be the amount of Cytosine?

Answer 1

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

In a DNA sequence, the amount of Thymine is always equal to Adenine. The same goes for Cytosine and Guanine.

Therefore:

Adenine: 40%

Thymine: 40%

Cytosine: 10%

Guanine: 10%

• The total amount/percentage will always total up to 100%.
