Answer:

The perecentage of guanine is 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

the DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of purine bases [for the DNA cytosine, thymine and for the RNA uracil] and pyrimidine bases [guanine and adenine for RNA and DNA]. The amount of guanine should be equaled to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equaled to thymine. You can follow this rule in both strands of the DNA.
