Cytosine makes up 38% of the nucleotides in a sample of DNA from an organism. Approximately, what percentage of the nucleotides in this sample will be Thymine?
Added by Joshua F.
Step 1
Now, we have 100% - 38% - 38% = 24% of the nucleotides remaining. Since adenine pairs with thymine, and there are only two types of nucleotides left, we can conclude that the remaining 24% is equally split between adenine and thymine. Show more…
