The two samples of `DNA,` `A` and `B` have melting tempreatures `(T_(m)) 340` and `350 K`,respectively. Can you draw any conclusion from this data regarding their base content?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that GC are held by triple hydrogen bonds while AT are held by two hydrogen bonds. Therefore, GC base pairs results into stronger bonding. Thus, the sample Y having higher `T_(m)` must be having more GC content as compared to sample X.
