Since A binds with T and C binds with G, the amount of cytosine would be greater on one strand and guanine greater on the other because the binding is complimentary.

Pyrimidine base found in DNA and RNA?
Cytosine is the pyrimidine that bonds to the purine Guanine in both DNA and Rna.
How do bases pair in DNA?
Both strands of DNA made of nucleotides come together and start making a helix which makes the bases pair up while the DNA strands are being twisted around like the helix. In the canonical Watson-Crick DNA base pairing, adenine (A) forms a base pair with thymine (T) and guanine (G) forms a base pair with cytosine (C).
Whats is Chargaff's rule?
Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA. They were discovered by Austrian chemist Erwin Chargaff.
What are the base pair combinations of the DNA?
Adenine and Thymine A = T, Cytosine and Guanine C = G.
If you performed a laboratory analysis of DNA you would find that the amount of adenine is the amount of thymine.?
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)
The amount of guanine always equals the amout of what?
The pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G) so there must always be equal amount of both in DNA.
Can bind with guanine and adenine binds with?
guanine binds with cytosine in both RNA and DNA
Pyrimidine base found in DNA and RNA?
Cytosine is the pyrimidine that bonds to the purine Guanine in both DNA and Rna.
If the percentage of cytosine in DNA is 17 what is the percentage of adenine?
To clarify, are you talking about on one stand or on both strands? If it is on one strand then it is imposable to tell. there could be up to 83%. (probably not but it is possible) if you are talking 17% on both of the strands then it is implied that it is 17% of guanine This means that there is 66% left. Because on both strands there must be one adenine for every thiamine that means that there is 33% adenine.
What is equal amount of substances on both sides of the cell membrane?
Isotonic
What is in both DNA and RNA?
Phosphate, adenosine, cytosine, and guanine.

What is found in both RNA and DNA?
DNA and RNA both have a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases. The bases found in both DNA and RNA are Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine.
Occurs when both hemispheres receive an equal amount of sunlight?
Polar regions
What is Thymine and cytosine also called?
Thymine and cytosine are two nitrogen bases found in DNA. DNA is composed of thousands of nucleotides which are composed of one of four nitrogen bases. Both of these nitrogen bases are also pyrimidines, or they have one ring like structure See related link for more info on thymine, cytosine and pyrimidines.
Whats is Chargaff's rule?
Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine. This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA. They were discovered by Austrian chemist Erwin Chargaff.
Does DNA or rna have phosphate groups?
Yes. Phosphorus is contained in the phosphates attached to the deoxyribose molecules on the double helix strands. (The stabilizing crossbars of the double helix are comprised of the four nucleic acids, paired off as adenosine-thymine, or A-T, and guanine-cytosine, or C-G).
