Answer:

Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of any organism should have a 1:1 ratio ( Base Pair Rule ) of pyrimidine and purine bases. Basically the amount of Cytosine must be equal to the amount of Guanine and the amount of Adenine must be equal to the amount of Thymine.

Hope it helps!
