Answer:
50
Explanation:
The lenght of the DNA in question is 250 bp. 200 of CG pairs and 50 of AT pairs.
10% adenine means also 10% thymine which in turn leads to 40% of cytosine and 40% guanine. AT pairs have 2 hydrogen bonds while CG pairs have 3 hydrogen bonds.
700 = 2X + 4(3X)
700 = 2X + 12X
700 = 14X
X = 50
X gives you the number of AT pairs.
