Biochemist Erwin Chargaff was the first to discover that, in DNA, [A] = [T] and [G] = [C]. These equalities are now known as Chargaff's rule. Using Chargaff's rule, determine the percentages of all of the bases in DNA that is 22% thymine. Adenine = Cytosine = Guanine =

Erwin Chargaff investigated the nucleotide composition of DNA. He analyzed DNA from various organisms and measured the relative amounts of adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) present in the DNA of each organism. The table below contains a selected incomplete data set of his results. Source of DNA Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine Sea urchin 32.8% 17.7% 17.3% 32.1% Salmon 29.7% 20.8% 20.4% 29.1% Wheat 21.8% 22.6% E. coli 24.7% 26.0% Human 30.4% 30.2% Ox 29.0%

Biochemist Erwin Chargaff was the first to note that, in DNA, [A] = [T] and [G] = [C], equalities now called Chargaff's rule. Using this rule, determine the percentages of all the bases in DNA that is 20% thymine.
