Why is the amount of guanine always equal to the amount of cytosine?
Amount of guanine is always equal to cytosine
What does Guanine equal?
Cytosine
Is there always going to be an equal number of guanine and cytosine nucleotides in a molecules Why?
That depends on what the molecule is. In DNA, there will be the same concentration of each, because they are paired, and DNA is a double stranded molecule. Thus, for each cytosine, there will be a guanine, and vice versa. In RNA however, it is single stranded, so the two do not have to match exactly.
Are there alwayS equal no of guanine and thymine?
No.Adenine binds to ThymineGuanine binds to CytosineThis means that the number of A=T and G=CA + G = T + C - but the number of G and T can be different.
Chargaff showed that DNA contains equal amounts of cytosine and?
guanine
Is number of adenine equal to guanine?
Based on the rule of complementary base pairing, the number (percentage) of adenine is equal to the number (percentage) of thymine, and the number (percentage) of cytosine is equal to the number (percentage) of guanine.
The number of which base is equal to the number of guanine in a DNA molecule?
DNA contains four nucleic acid bases. These can be remembered by the acronym ACGT where the A stands for adenine, the C stands for cytosine, the G stands for guanine, and the T stands for thymine.
Why is the amount of guanine always equal to the amount of cytosine?
Amount of guanine is always equal to cytosine
How many Guanine's are in a DNA?
There is no consistent amount of guanine in everyone's DNA, but there is an equal amount of guanine and cytosine as well equal amounts of thymine and adenine.
What does Guanine equal?
Cytosine
What nucleotide basis are present in equal amounts of DNA?
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.
What forensic scientist is trying to find out the number of adenine in the DNA sample that he obtained from a crime scene. What can he assume about the number of adenine?
the number of adenine will be equal to the number of guanine
Are there always going to be an equal number of guanine and and cytosine nucleotides in a molecule?
Yes, if all is normal.
How did double helix structure match Chargaff's observations?
Chargaff observed that the number of Guanine units in a section/piece of DNA was the same as the number of Cysteine units and that the number of Thymine units equaled the number of Adenine units. This matched the double helix structure because Cysteine pairs with Guanine, and Thymine pairs with Adenine - meaning that Chargaff was right in that there must be an equal number of Cysteines and Guanines as well as equal Thymines and Adenines.
Why are adenine and guanine equal?
they're part of the 4 basic building blocks of DNA. the 4 are adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine.

If DNA were 40 percent cytosine what would be percent of guanine?
20% because cytosine and guanine have equal amounts. Always
