Assume 100 bair pair DNA double helix contains 45 cytosines. how many adenines are ther?

Since DNA base pairs always have an equal amount of adenine and thymine, if there are 45 cytosines, there would also be 45 guanines. Therefore, the number of adenines would be equal to the number of thymines, making it 100 - 45 - 45 = 10 adenines.

If there are 45 cytosines and 55 thymines how many guanines are there?

Given that DNA base pairing rules state that cytosine pairs with guanine and adenine pairs with thymine, for every cytosine there must be one guanine. Therefore, if there are 45 cytosines, there must also be 45 guanines.
