Question

If dna of a particular species was analyzed and it was found that it contains 27 percent a, what would be the percentage of c?.

Answer 1

DNA of that particular species contains 23 % of C

How can we calculate the percentage of DNA?

Adenosine (A) is complimentary with Thymine (T), that means that there is 27% of A + 27 % of T = 54%

To calculate the percentage of Cytosine (C) we need to know that C and Guanine (G) are also complementary. That means that the remaining 46% is half C and half G.

Therefore, the percentage of C is 23%.
