There are equal amounts of each base because Guanine binds to cytidine, and Thymidine binds to Adenine. Purines bind to pyrimidines. That is why when you have a certain amount of Guanine nucleotides, then you will certainly have that same amount of Cytidine nucleotides. Same thing goes for A-T base pairs. The only thing that is a little different is the amount of G-C base pairs relative to the A-T percentage. The human Genome is roughly 60% GC rich while the other 40% is AT

What nucleotide basis are present in equal amounts of DNA?

The nucleotide bases guanine and cytosine, and adenine and thymine are present in equal quantities in DNA. This is how scientists determined that guanine pairs with cytosine, and adenine pairs with thymine.

How did Watson and cricks model explain the basis for chargaffs rules?

Watson and Crick's model of DNA structure, the double helix, provided a physical explanation for Chargaff's rules by showing how the complementary base pairing of adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine could fit within the double helix structure. This pairing resulted in equal amounts of A and T, and G and C, in a DNA molecule, which aligned with Chargaff's observation that the amounts of adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine, were nearly equal in DNA samples.

What is the name given to the process where the DNA is copied?

The process where DNA is copied is called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the double-stranded DNA molecule is unwound and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This process is essential for cell division and passing genetic information to offspring.
