Question

A sample of double-stranded DNA contains 28% thymine. Approximately what percent of the nucleotides in this sample will be guanine

Answer 1

Answer:

Percent of Guanine = 42%

Explanation:

Given:

Percent of Thymine = 28%.

Find:

Percent of Guanine

Computation:

DNA contain 20% Thymine will have 30% Guanine

So,

Percent of Guanine = Percent of Thymine [30/20]

Percent of Guanine = 28 [30/20]

Percent of Guanine = 42%
