Erwin Chargaff studied the DNA of organismswithin a single species. Chargaff discovered thatthe amount of adenine is about equal to the amountof thymine. Which of these explains why the ratioof adenine to thymine is nearly 1:1?

A Adenine and thymine pair with each other.
B Adenine binds with phosphates, while thymine binds with nitrates.
C Adenine and thymine are identical in chemical composition.
D Adenine bases contain a form of thymine.

Respuesta :

Adenine  and  thymine  matches  with   each  other  explain  the  why  ratio  of   adenine  and  thymine  is  nearly   1:1.Guanine  pairs  with  each  other  with cytosine.Thymine  and  cytosine  are  single  ringed(pyrimidine)  while  adenine  and guanine are   double ringed(purines)

A. Adenine and thymine always pair with each other is the explanation of the discovery of Erwin Chargaff where the amount of adenine is about equal to the amount of thymine when he studied the DNA of organisms within a single species.
