Question

If i have 130 adenine and 120 cytosine then how many bse pairs are there in dna

Answer 1

In DNA always A+G=T+C

Also G=C

So G= 200, C=200

Then A+200=T+200

Given total bases is 600

So A+T+G+C = 600

400+2A =600

A=T = 100

So there are 100 thymine bases.

Answer 2

In DNA always A+G=T+C

Also G=C

So G= 200, C=200

Then A+200=T+200

Given total bases is 600

So A+T+G+C = 600

400+2A =600

A=T = 100

So there are 100 thymine bases
