The table below shows the percentages of bases in a DNA sample. How much Guanine (G) should you expect to find in the sample?

a
17%
b
33%
c
50%
d
83%

theres a graph with (a,c,g,t) a has is blankpercent c has 17 percent g is blank percent t has 33 percent

1 answer

Since Guanine (G) is paired with Cytosine (C) in the DNA double helix, the percentage of Guanine should be equal to the percentage of Cytosine. Since Cytosine has 17%, Guanine should also have 17%.

Therefore, the expected amount of Guanine (G) in the DNA sample is 17%.

Answer: b) 17%
