Yes, the amount of cytosine in both strands of a DNA molecule is equal. This is because cytosine always pairs with guanine through hydrogen bonding in a complementary manner: C-G on one strand pairs with G-C on the other strand.

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.


What two DNA would have the same percentage?

DNA strands with equal percentage of guanine and cytosine (GC content) will have similar melting temperatures and will be more closely related. This means that DNA sequences with the same GC content will have similar stability and more closely matched hybridization properties.


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.


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.


Which nitrogenous base pairs with cytosine in DNA and RNA?

In both DNA and RNA, cytosine pairs with guanine.

Does DNA replication take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA?

No, DNA replication does not take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA. It occurs in opposite directions on the two strands, known as the leading and lagging strands.


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.


What group does Cytosine and Thymine belong to?

Cytosine and Thymine both belong to the group of nucleotide bases known as pyrimidines.
