Question

If a cell has 15% guanine, how much thymine would you expect to be in this cell?

15%
35%
85%
100%

Answer 1

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that all the guanine pairs with all the cytosine

that means there is also 15% cytosine

100-15-15=70%

this 70% represented by thymine and adenine

all the thymine paris with all the adenine

that means the number of thymine bases is equal to the number of adenine bases

70/2=35%thymine
