The percentage of adenine in a double stranded DNA isolated from human liver is observed to be 32. What are the expected parcentage of Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Adenic = `32%` ,so Thymine = `32%`, Cytosine = `18%`, and Guanine = `18%`, Accroding to Chargaff.s rule, in a double stranded DNA ,the ratios between adenine and Thymine and Guanine and cystosine are constant and equal to one.
