What nucleotide pair bonds would be found in a DNA molecule?

Guanine-Cytosine


What are the bases of a DNA molecule?

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T), and Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C-G). In an RNA molecule, Thymine is replaced by Uracil, so it would be Adenine and Uracil (A-U) and Cytosine and Guanine (C-G).


Which nuclotide pair bonds would be found in an DNA molecule?

The two different nucleotide pair bonds found in DNA are guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine.


If a DNA sample were composed of 10 percent thymine what would be the percentage of guanine?

There are four different nucleobases including adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Each nucleobase pairs with it's opposite, for example adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. Knowing this, if a DNA sample had 10% thymine that means it would have 10% adenine equalling 20% of the entire sample for the both of them. The remaining 80% of the sample would contain 40% cytosine and 40% guanine.


What nucleotide pais bonds would be found in the DNA molecule?

DNA base pair are Cytosine with Guanine and Thymine with Adenine.


If there are 500 As on a DNA molecule how many T's would there be?

500 - Thymine always pairs with Adenine. Guanine always pairs with Cytosine


Because of specific base pairing if one side of the DNA molecule had the nucleotide sequence adenine-guanine-adenine-cytosine-thymine the other side would be?

thymine, cytosine, thymine, guanine, adenine *HINT* "A" goes with "T" always and "C" goes with "G" always


If a DNA molecule is found to be composed of 40 thymine what is the percentage guanine would be expected?

Since G Pairs with C, and A pairs with T....%G=%C, therefore the bases are also 40% Cytosine Final result of all bases would be: 40% Guanine 40% Cytosine 10% Adenine 10% Thymine


What is the sequence of 3 nitrogen bases on tRNA?

It would be: Cytosine Adenine Cytosine Uracil Uracil Guanine Cytosine Adenine Cytosine


If the DNA analysis of a gene shows 20 adenine bases what would be the percentage of uracil?

as adenine is complementary to thymine,the percentage of thymine is 20% out of 100% 40%is adenine and thymine(20%A +20%T)the rest is 60% cytosine is complementary to guanine so the percentage of cytosine and guanine is 30%and 30%


If DNA were 40 percent cytosine what would be percent of guanine?

20% because cytosine and guanine have equal amounts. Always
