RNA was extracted from TMV (tobacco mosaic virus) particles and found to contain 20 percent cytosine $(20$ percent of the bases were cytosine). With this information, is it possible to predict what percentage of the bases in $\mathrm{TMV}$ are adenine? If so, what percentage? If not, why not?

An unknown virus had 24% adenine residues. This virus's genetic material could be single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or single-stranded or double-stranded RNA. Estimate the percentage of each base in each possible genome. Just write the number without the percent symbol. If the percentage of a particular base cannot be estimated, enter - unknown. a. Double-stranded DNA? A = Answer T = Answer G = Answer C = Answer U = Answer b. Double-stranded RNA? A = Answer T = Answer G = Answer C = Answer U = Answer c. Single-stranded DNA? A = Answer T = Answer G = Answer C = Answer U = Answer d. Single-stranded RNA? A = Answer T = Answer G = Answer C = Answer U = Answer
