3.-4. In a sample of double-stranded DNA, 30% of the nitrogenous bases are thymine. What percentage of the nitrogenous bases in the sample are adenine? What percentage are guanine (in the same sample)?

3.-4. In a sample of double-stranded DNA, 30% of the nitrogenous bases are thymine. What percentage of the nitrogenous bases in the sample are adenine? What percentage are guanine (in the same sample)?

If 30% is Thymine then 30% must be Adenine (base pairing rule). The total percent of A and T would equal 60% (30% A + 30% T = 60%)

That leaves 40% total for C and G. We know they have to be equal so we split 40% in half (base pairing rule).

The percentage for C must be 20% and the percentage for G therefore must be 20%.

5. A single nucleotide of DNA is composed of which of the following substances?

A. adenine, guanine, and cytosine

B. hydrogen, a phosphate group, and adenine

C. ribose sugar, deoxyribose sugar, and thymine

B. Each new molecule has only the coding portions of the original molecule in its sequence.

C. Each new molecule contains one strand from the original molecule and one newly synthesized strand.

D. Each new molecule retains the A, C, and G bases in the DNA sequence but replaces the T base with U
