Question

In humans there is approximately 30% adenine (A). What is the percentage of each of the other 3 DNA bases?

Show math calculations for 7a, 7b, and 7c.

Answer 1

In Double Stranded DNA , Adenine pairs with Thymine as we know, it means amount of A = Amount of T. Here A=30% so T=30%

Total will be 100% (for all 4 bases) , left out is 30 % which will be equally divided by Guanine and Cytocine , hence G=20% and C=20%.

A=30% T=30% G=20% C=20%
