| In one DNA molecule, nucleotides with thymine (T) account for 24% of the total number of nucleotides. Determine the number (in%) of nucleotides with guanine (G), adenine (A), cytosine (C) in the DNA molecule and explain the results.
1) according to the rule of Chargaff A = T = 24% (their total is 48%);
2) on G and C, 100% remains – 48% = 52%;
3) since Г = С, then Г = С = 52: 2 = 26%.
