    In a DNA segment having six coils, there are 22 nitrogen base pairs linked by two hydrogen bonds. How many cytosine bases are found in that segment

    A)  22                                         

    B)  38

    C)  44                                         

    D)  76

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     One coil of DNA has 10 base pairs hence, the s six coils contain 60 base pairs. The nitrogen  base pairs linked by two hydrogen bonds are 22 hence, the nitrogen base pair with three hydrogen bonds, i.e., G = C will be 60 - 22 = 38.
