Respuesta :
14*2=28: 28% are t and a100-28=72: 72% are c and gthere are equal amounts of c and g because they pair with each other, so 72/2 = 36, 36% are guanine.
If 14% of the nucleotides from a DNA molecule contain the base T, 36% will contain base G.
- DNA molecule is made up of four nucleotide subunits namely: adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine.
- In the DNA molecule, adenine base pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine i.e. A-T, G-C.
- According to Erwin Chargaff, the amount of adenine present in the DNA molecule equals the amount of thymine. The same applies for guanine and cytosine.
- A+T+G+C = 100%.
- This means that if a DNA molecule contains 14% T, the amount of adenine will be also 14%.
- 100% - 28% = 72%. This means that 72% belongs to both guanine and cytosine. Since they are present in equal amount, the percentage of guanine in the DNA molecule will be 72/2 = 36%.
