Answer:

its genome is 23% thymine (T)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of Chargaff says that the amount of the adenine (A) and thymine (T) is almost equal and guanine (G) to cytosine (C) and also the amount of A and T should be equal to the amount of the G and C.

So, A= 23 % then T must be 23 %

Then, A+T = 46%.

The left 54% should be divide by 2, G and C that would be 27 %.
