Question : The percentage of nucleotide A in DNA isolated from human liver is observed to be 29.6%. What is the expected percentage of T, G and C? Justify. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :a. T = 29,6%, G = 20.4%, C = 20.4% b. The amount of A is ALWAYS equal to T. So the percentage of T is 29.6. Gand C together would make up the remainder or 100 – (29.6 + 29.6) = 40.8. Thus the percentage of C and G separately would be expected to be equal or HALF of 40.8 or 20.4. |
