How much adenine is present when there is 15\% thymine?

If a DNA sample contains 15\% thymine bases, then there are exactly 15\% bases of adenine.

What is the percentage of adenine in a DNA double helix?

30\%
Thus, if a double-stranded DNA has 20\% cytosine, it has 20\% guanine. Thus, C + G makes 40\% of the total bases. The remaining 60\% includes both adenine and thymine which are in equal amounts. So, the percentage of adenine is 30\%.

What percentage of a DNA molecule is thymine?

In a typical DNA molecule, the proportion of thymine is 30\% of the N bases.

When DNA molecule consists of 10\% adenine how much thymine is present?

Therefore, thymine and adenine would make up a total of 100\%−10\%−10\%=80\% of the DNA .

What is the percent adenine in a DNA molecule containing 24\% guanine?

The correct answer: A DNA molecule with 24\% guanine would have 26\% adenine.

What is the percentage of cytosine in double stranded DNA?

18\%
According to Chargaff’s rule in a DNA molecule A = T and G = C and A + G + C + T = 100\%. Here cytosine (C) is 18\% hence G = 18\% ∴ A + T = (100 – 36)\% ∴ A + T = 64\% ∴ A = 32\% If a double stranded DNA has 20 percent of cytosine, calculate the percent of adenine in the DNA.

When DNA molecule consists of 10\% adenine how much percentage of thymine is present?

80\%
Therefore, thymine and adenine would make up a total of 100\%−10\%−10\%=80\% of the DNA .

What is the percentage of adenine and guanine in DNA?

In DNA, guanine is 10\%. The content of adenine is a) 90\% (b) 80\% (c) 40\% (d) 20\% (e) 10\% If guanine=10\% as guanine will always pair with cytosine, i.e.cytosine is also 10\% then adenine and thymine accounts 80\% as adenine will always pair with thymine.

What is the sum of adenine + thymine /guanine + cytosine?

The sum of the Adenine + Thymine /Guanine + Cytosine bases in the DNA must equal 100\%. You already know that Adenine = 15\%.

What is the difference between 35\% cytosine and 35\% guanine?

35\% is Guanine and 35\% is Cytosine. And here you have your answere . 35\% cytosine is present in a DNA sample having 15\% adenine content.

What percentage of a DNA sample would be thymine?

A DNA sample contains 30\% cytosine. What percentage of the sample would be thymine? We know according to Chargaff’s rules, amount of adenine is equal to amount of thymine and amount of cytosine is equal to amount of guanine in DNA. So we are given that given DNA has 30\% cytosine.
