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.
thymine. :]]
The amount will always of Thymine.
Always equals the amount of thymine.
thymine
Adenine
Erwin Chargaff
Yes, because Adenine always pairs with Thymine so every time you have a Thymine their will be always a Adenine to pair with it. (If your confused just think about the stand of DNA then read what a said again)
in each species the amount of adenine equals the amount of cytosine
Short answer: Adenine More information: In the model of DNA that was discovered by Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 proposed that DNA was a double helix structure with 4 bases which pair to each other. Due to experiments that had been carried out by other scientists at the time (namely Erwin Chargoff in 1949) he showed that despite the amount of DNA present the amount of adenine was always equal to the amount of thymine and the amount of cytosine to the amount of guanine. When Watson had this information he suddenly realised that the adenine-thymine bond was the same length as the cytosine-guanine bond and therefore they would pair to each other in a double helix model. Thymine and adenine are held together by a double hydrogen bond; whereas cytosine and guanine form a triple hydrogen bond.

Every adenine in DNA will be paired to a thymine. However in RNA adenine is paired to uracil. So no - all else being equal since there is DNA and RNA in a body there will not be equal amounts.
Yes
Yes.
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.
states that in any saple of DNA, the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine and the amout of cytosine is equal to the amount of guanine.
in each species the amount of adenine equals the amount of cytosine
Chargaff's data showed that for each organism he studied the amount of adenine always equaled the amount of thymine (A=T) likewise, the amount of guanine always equaled the amount of cytosine (G=C).
yes.
