    An analysis of a DNA (double stranded) sample yielded 18% cytosine. What would be the percentage of other base ion this sample?

    A) T-32%, A-32%, G-18%

    B) T-32%, A-18%, G-32%

    C) T-18%, A-32%, G-32%

    D) T-40%, A-22%, G-20%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    According to Chargaffs rule, in DNA purines and pyrimidines are always in equal proportion (ie, A+G =T+C) and proportion of adenine is always equals to that of thymine, while proportion of guanine always equals to that of cytosine (e, A = T and G = C). So, option a is correct.
