Question

If there is 16% Guanine in a strand of DNA, what percentage of the same strand is made of Thymine?

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\mathbb{♡Answer♡}}$

The perecentage of guanine is 30%

The perecentage of guanine is 30%Explanation:

The perecentage of guanine is 30%Explanation:According to the Chargaff's rules 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.

Answer 2

34% will be in the same strand of the DNA which will be made up of thymine

Explanation:

• According to Chargaffs law the amount of of purine bases in the DNA strand will be equal to the number of the Pyramid in bases which are present in the DNA strand.

• As a result of this If the amount of guanine is equal to 16 % then the total amount  of purine will be equal to 32 %

• The total amount of pyrimidine base will be equal to to 68% and the amount of thymine will be half of this % which is equal to 34%
