B. In prokaryotes, the amount of C and T are equal, and the amount of A and G are equal, but not in eukaryotes.
C. In any species, the amount of G and C are equal, and the amount of A and T are equal.
D. In eukaryotes, the amount of G and T are equal, and the amount of A and Care equal, but not in prokaryotes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

For chagarff's rule, it clearly states that DNA from any cell of any organisms be it prokaryotes or eukaryotes should have the basic 1 (purine): 1 (pyrimidine) ratio.
