Question

A patient's DNA has been sequenced. We discovered it is comprised of 20% Adenine. What percent of Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine will the patient have? *

Answer 1

Adenine pairs with thymine so there is the same number of Thymine bases and adenine bases so we have 20% thymine.

100%-20%-20%=60% (guanine and cytosine)

gunaine paris with cytosine so there is the same number of cytosine and guanine bases

60%/2=30%

30%guanine 30% cytosine
