A single strand of DNA helix consists of 100 nitrogenous base pairs. If 36 of the bases are adenine and 24 are cytosine, how many should be thymine on the complementary strand?

Chargaffs rule;
A=T
C=G
Therefore;
36 Adenine = 36 Thymine
24 Cytosine = 24 Guanine
This rule arises because of the complementary base pairing found in DNA and RNA

In the center of the double helix (rungs of the ladder) adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine. These are all nitrogenous bases, not proteins.
