Question

If a DNA strand is found to be 22.6% cytosine, what percentage of that strand is thymine?

Answer 1

27.4% Thymine

Step-by-step explanation:

Guanine amount is equal to the amount of Cytosine

Adenine amount is equal to amount of Thymine

22.6 + 22.6 = 45.2

100 - 45.2 = 54.8

54.8% of the DNA is made up of Adenine AND Thymine

54.8/2 = 27.4

Answer 2

27.4% of that strand is Thymine
