What would be the percentage of thymine in a double stranded DNA sample which contains 20% cytosine of the total bases?

  • 10%

  • 20%

  • 30%

  • 40%


C.

30%

In DNA, purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine) occur in equal amount.

Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. Hence, in a DNA sample if, 

 C = 20% then, G = 20%

So, A or T = 100 - (20 + 20)2 = 30%
