Question

A strand of DNA has 22% adenine. List the percentages of guanine, thymine, and cytosine.​

Answer 1

The answer to your question is:

Adenine = 22%

Thymine = 22%

Guanine = 28%

Cytosine = 28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adenine = 22 %

Cytosine = ?

Guanine = ?

Thymine = ?

Process

Adenine is attached to Thymine so if Adenine = 22% ,

Thymine = 22%

Adenine + Thymine = 22 + 22 = 44%

Guanine + Cytosine = 100 - 44

Guanine ´Cytosine = 56 %

Guanine = 28%

Cytosine = 28%
