Question

dna structure and function assignment (cw)
in dna remember that a (adenine) binds and matches with t (thymine), and c (cytosine) binds and matches with g (guanine).
if 30% of the dna contains thymine, what percent adenine would the dna contain? (think about it - a and t match with each other)
30%
15%
45%
60%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - pairing rule

In DNA, A pairs with T.

Step2: Determine adenine percentage

Since A and T are complementary, if T is 30%, then A is also 30%.

Answer:

30%
