It depends on the organism. Different organisms have different relative amounts of nitrogenous bases. The only thing we can say for sure is that the amount of thymine in a given organism's genome will be just about the same as the amount of adenine.

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 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
What did Chargraffs rule state?
Basically chargoffs rule, of i all know, Thymine equals the Adenine, Cytosine equals the Guanine, and something else about the pyrmine. - nikkiYes, Nikki is close and she has the right idea. Erwin Chargraff, an American biochemist, had discovered that the percentages of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases are almost equal in any sample of DNA. But the same thing is true for the other nucleotides, adenine (A) and thymine (T). (A) = (T) and (G) = (C) became known as Chargraff's rules. - bradberrya

A sample of normal double-stranded DNA was found to have a guanine content of 18 percent What is the expected proportion of adenine?
32%

Why are there always the same number of adenine and thymine in a molecule?
Chemical analysis has shown that the number of adenine molecules in a sample of DNA is always the same as the number of thymine molecules. A sample of RNA would show that there are equal numbers of adenine molecules and uracil molecules.
If 15 percent of the nitrogenous base in a sample of DNA is thymine what percentage should be cytosine?
Thymine binds to adenine, so we know that for every thymine, there will be one adenine. That's 15% thymine and 15% adenine. We are left with 70% other nitrogen bases. There are two bases left (guanine and cytosine), both of which bond together in equal numbers. So 70 divided by 2 is 35 -- 35% guanine and 35% cytosine.
What percentage of the bases in this sample are adenine?
Yeast with adenine-31.3% has the percentage of adenine.

If there is 30 of cytosine in a sample of DNA what is the percentage of thymine?
If there is 10% adenine, then there must also be 10% thymine. The remaining 80% of the DNA must be composed of guanine and cytosine, specifically, 40% of each. The answer to your question is therefore 40% cytosine is present in this DNA molecule.
Why guanine cytosine rich DNA is more difficult to denature than an adenine thymine rich DNA?
Within the DNA model, adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine (AT CG) and these nitrogenous bases are held together by hydrogen bonds, fairly strong bonds. However, adenine and thymine are linked by two hydrogen bonds between strands, whereas cytosine and guanine are linked by three hydrogen bonds. Therefore, if the DNA sample was rich in guanine and cytosine the two strands would be linked predominantly by three hydrogen bonds, thus, the two strands would be held together more. More heat would be required to break these three hydrogen bonds located through the DNA strand, as opposed to just two hydrogen bonds.

Does honey contain phosphate?
Yes. Honey contains small amounts of phosphate. A typical 100-gram sample of honey may contain about 56.9 milligrams of phosphoric acid.
