    Thirty percent of the bases in a sample of DNA extracted from eukaryotic cells is adenine. What percentage of cytosine is present in this DNA?

    A) 10%                                         

    B) 20%

    C) 30%                                         

    D) 40%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] If 30 percent of DNA is adenine, then by Chargaff's rule 30 percent will be thymine. The remaining 40 percent of the DNA is cytosine and guanine. Since the ratio of cytosine to guanine must be equal, then each accounts for 20 percent of the bases.
