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 48% of the dna contains guanine, what percent cytosine would the dna contain? (think about it..c and g match with each other)
48%
24%
16%
96%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - pairing rule

In DNA, cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).

Step2: Determine cytosine percentage

Since the amount of C is equal to the amount of G, if 48% of the DNA contains guanine, then the amount of cytosine is also 48%.

Answer:

48%
