Answer:
The percentage of guanine is 15%.
Explanation:
In DNA, the base pairs always consist of adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G). Therefore, the percentage of guanine can be calculated by subtracting the percentage of thymine from 100 and then dividing by 2, since the percentage of guanine is equal to the percentage of cytosine:
- Guanine + Cytosine = 100% - Thymine - Adenine
- Guanine + Cytosine = 100% - 35% - 35%
- Guanine + Cytosine = 30%
- Guanine = Cytosine = 15%
Therefore, the percentage of guanine is 15%.
