Answer 2

Answer:

27% of thymidine residues are present

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always with guanine. Therefore the percentage of A and T must be approximately equal to the G and C. So in this we have 23% adenine then thymine also be equal to 23%. So A+T = 46%. Remaining is 54% must be between G and C. Divide 54 by 2 so we get 27 %.

correct option is '27%'.
