adenine=thymine, cytosine=guanine
adenine
Adenine
Chargaff's rules stated that the number of adenine units in a DNA segment were equal to the number of thymine units.
Watson and Crick came up with the base-pairing rule for nucleic acids using Chargaff's rule that in DNA the percentages of adenine and thymine are equal, and the percentages of guanine and cytosine are equal. Refer to the related link below.
The nucleotide bases guanine and cytosine, and adenine and thymine are present in equal quantities in DNA. This is how scientists determined that guanine pairs with cytosine, and adenine pairs with thymine.
adenine In a DNA strand, the amount of Adenine equals the amount of Thymine, and the amount of Guanine equals the amount of Cytosine. So Adenine is your answer.

Watson and Cricks model, the double helix, showed that the base pairs bind together in the centre of the DNA molecule. Therefore because the bases are found in pairs, there must be equal amounts of each. This explained Chargaff's rules - the number of guanine is equal to the number of cytosine and that the number of thymine is equal to the number of adenine - because they are found as pairs.
The nucleotide bases guanine and cytosine, and adenine and thymine are present in equal quantities in DNA. This is how scientists determined that guanine pairs with cytosine, and adenine pairs with thymine.
1/7 is equal to 14.2857%.
2.5 = 250%
Yes because they always paired thymine with adenine or always paired adenine with thymine, never pairing either with cytosine or guanine. Therefore they are in equal amounts.
adenine In a DNA strand, the amount of Adenine equals the amount of Thymine, and the amount of Guanine equals the amount of Cytosine. So Adenine is your answer.
