In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), while cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the amount of adenine is not directly related to the amount of cytosine; they are part of different base pairings. In a double-stranded DNA molecule, the ratio of adenine to cytosine can vary depending on the organism and the specific DNA sequence. However, in terms of base pairing, A and C do not have a fixed quantitative relationship.

Assume 100 bair pair DNA double helix contains 45 cytosines. how many adenines are ther?

Since DNA base pairs always have an equal amount of adenine and thymine, if there are 45 cytosines, there would also be 45 guanines. Therefore, the number of adenines would be equal to the number of thymines, making it 100 - 45 - 45 = 10 adenines.

How many adenines are there when a 100 base pair DNA helix contains 45 cytosines?

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.


What if a 100- bar pair DNA double helix contains 45 cytosine's?

In a DNA double helix, the base pairing rules dictate that cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). If a 100-base pair DNA molecule contains 45 cytosines, it must also contain 45 guanines, since they pair together. This leaves 10 base pairs, which must consist of adenine (A) and thymine (T). Since A pairs with T, there will be 5 adenines and 5 thymines in this DNA double helix.


What are the 4 bases of the DNA ladder?

The four bases of the DNA ladder are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases pair up in a complementary way (A with T and C with G) to form the rungs of the DNA double helix.


What are the middle rungs of the DNA ladder made of?

The rungs of the ladder are pairs of 4 types of nitrogen bases (thymines, adenines, guanines, cytosines).---The pairs are guanine and cytosine (G-C), or adenine and thymine (A-T).The rungs of the dna ladder are made of alternating sugars and phosophate groups.
