Question

You have isolated a particular virus and have found that the amount of thymine present in its double stranded DNA is 23%. Based on that knowledge, what can you predict to be the percentage of guanine present in the same sample?

23%
46%
27%
54%

Answer 1

27% .

Step-by-step explanation:

A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine) and has the same percentage. C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine) and they both have the same percentage. In this case, the percentage of T (thymine) is 23%. So A (adenine) will also have 23%. This leaves the remaining percentage at 54% (100-46). So G and C will have 27% each (totaling 54%).

Answer 2

The Answer Is 27% . . . . . . . . . . . . . The dots are so I can post the answer, because without a long reply I can't answer.
