Question

In a 3.2 Kbp long piece of DNA, 840 adenine bases were found. What

would be the number of cytosine bases?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total DNA = 3.2 Kbp = 3200 bp

Adenine = 820

According to Chargaff's rule

[A] = [T], [G] = [C]

So, Thymine = 820

Therefore, total A + T content = 820 + 820 = 1640

Also, A + T = 3200 - (G + C)

So, G + C content = 3200 - 1640 = 1560

So, cytosine

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Total DNA = 3.2 Kbp = 3200 bp

Adenine = 820

According to Chargaff's rule

[A] = [T], [G] = [C]

So, Thymine = 820

Therefore, total A + T content = 820 + 820 = 1640

Also, A + T = 3200 - (G + C)

So, G + C content = 3200 - 1640 = 1560

So, cytosine
