Answer:

140 T or thymine base

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenine pairs with Thymine in DNA thus the number of adenine will always equal number of thymine (unless some sort of mutation), therefore in this problem you have 140 A so you have 140 T as well. Remember: Adenine (A) and Thymine(T) is equal, & Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) is equal
