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
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%
