Question

A DNA has 5.6 kilo base pairs . If no. of cytosine molecule in this gene is 1000 then what will be the no.of rhyming molecule in this gene

Answer 1

Answer:

According to base pairing rule,

If there are 1000 cytosine molecules, then there would be 1000 Guanosine molecules as well.

5600 - 2000 = 3600

3600/2 = 1800.

There would be 1800 each of Adenine and Thymine.

Answer 2

The no.of rhyming molecules will be 1000.

Explanation:

• In the DNA, the cytosine pairs with guanine.

• Adenine pairs with thymine.

• If the number of molecules of cytosine will be 1000, then the number of molecules of the rhyming molecule i.e guanine will also be 1000.

• There are 56000 bases in total according to the question. 2000 will be the adenine and cytosine.

• This means adenine and thymine will be 1800 each.
