Step 1
The problem states that a new virus has been discovered, and its genome consists of four ribonucleotides. The ratios of these ribonucleotides are given as: Adenine (A) = 11% Guanine (G) = 39% Cytosine (C) = 39% Uracil (U) = 11% Show more…

Suppose that a hapless graduate student has forgotten to label four different sample tubes that contained thermophilic archaea, bacteria, single-stranded DNA viruses, and double-stranded RNA viruses. The table below shows the nucleotide content of each sample, except for the nucleotide uracil, which is excluded. Label each unknown sample with the appropriate sample name. Sample Guanine Cytosine Adenine Thymine 1 33% 33% 17% 17% 2 19% 19% 31% 31% 3 19% 31% 17% 33% 4 29% 29% 21% 0%
