| In a DNA molecule, thymidyl nucleotides make up 18% of the total number of nucleotides. Which of the answers correctly describes the quantitative ratio of nucleotides in this molecule?
According to Chargaff’s rule, in the D NK molecule, the amount of T = A, and the amount of G = C.
Hence, T + A = 18% + 18% = 36%. G + C accounts for: 100% – 36% = 64%, that is, G = C = 32%.
