Question

The bases from DNA isolated from a newly discovered single-stranded virus are found to be 16 percent A, 34 percent C, 34 percent G, and 16 percent T. During replication, this DNA forms a complementary strand. The bases of the complementary DNA would be ___ percent A, ___ percent C, ___ percent G, and ___ percent T.

Answer 1

Answer:16% A, 34% C, 34% G and 16% T

Explanation:

During complimentary strand formation the base Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) and base Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G) , as the percentage of the base pairs in a strand is same so the percentage of the complimentary strands of the DNA would be same.
