Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is made up of two parallel chains linked through the organic bases by hydrogen bonds. The linking is such that guanine always links with cytosine while adenine links with thymine. The base pairs are complementary to each other therefore if there are 20 cytosine organic bases, then 20 guanine bases would be required.
