I don't think the question, as it is currently phrased, is answerable. It's like saying, here's a room that contains 100 animals and those animals are dogs, cats, sheep and mice. 45 are dogs. How many sheep are there? Can't tell. Knowing the number of dogs doesn't help.
BUT, if you mean if a double stranded DNA sequence is 45% cytosine, how many percent is adenine? The answer is 5%. This is because cytosine always pairs with guanidine and adenine with thymidine. So, if 45% of the DNA is cytosine, then 45% must be guanidine. Since 45%+45%=90% that leaves 10%, which has to be shared evenly between adenine and thymidine. Half of 10% is 5%, therefore 5% is adenine.
This question does not admit of a definite answer because we don't know what the DNA is coding for. Each codon encodes for one particular amino acid. The pattern of base pairs in the codon determines which amino acid. The no of adenines in one codon can be anywhere from zero to three. Zero and three are both numbers of fairly low probability, but one and two are about equally likely. The statistical answer for a totally unknown protein being coded for is between 40 and 60.

100 nucleotide pairs are a total of 200 nucleotides. Because of base pairing, if there are 25 adenine there must also be 25 thymine. This leaves 200-50 = 150 nucleotides to be divided evenly between guanine and cytosine.
The DNA pairs are C-G and A-T. In your question you have 45 Cs, which means they are paired with 45 Gs. The rest of the base pair are A-T, so you have 100-45=55 A-T pairs. 55 As and 55 Ts.
55 adenines
Since there are 45 cytosine, guanine pairs, that means that all the remaining 55 base pairs would be adenine, thymine pairs.
55. 45 cytosines would mean there must also be 45 guanines. This leaves room for 55 base pairs of adenine and thymine.
nitrogenous bases linked together
RNA contains a ribose sugar that ha oxygen while DNA has deoxyribose sugar which does not have oxygen. DNA has the base Thymine, while RNA has the base Uracil. RNA is single stranded while DNA is double stranded in a double helix.
Thymine is a nitrogen base that is wound up inside the double helix of DNA. It pairs with Adenine.
The sequence on the strand of the helix is TACCGGATC.
55. 45 cytosines would mean there must also be 45 guanines. This leaves room for 55 base pairs of adenine and thymine.
Adenines base pair in RNA is uracil.
nitrogenous bases linked together
It is form of a double helix with a backbone of a sugar-phosphate. The base contains pairs of Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
it suggested that information could be contained in both strands of the helix and that this information was related by base pairs
