We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.
Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .
We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.
We use Chargaff's rule to get the answer.
[A] + [G] = [C]+ [T].
[A] + [G] + [C] + [T] = 100%
Where is A is Adenine, G is Gaunine, T is Thymine and C is Cytosine.
In DNA, Adenine always pairs with Thymine, and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.
Therefore if Thymine is 35%, then Adenine will also be 35% to make 70% in total.
The remaining percentage will be 100% - 70% = 30%.
The 30% will be shared equally among Cytosine and Guanine, at 15% each. Therefore Cytosine will be 15%
If you could tell me what cell it would be easier. Sorry I have to post it on Answer but I't does not show the commentary or whatever you guys call it.
