Guanine and cytosine always pair together due to specific hydrogen bonding interactions that stabilize their association in the DNA double helix. This base pairing rule is known as Chargaff's rule, where the amount of guanine is always equal to the amount of cytosine in a DNA molecule.
No.Adenine binds to ThymineGuanine binds to CytosineThis means that the number of A=T and G=CA + G = T + C - but the number of G and T can be different.
In a double helix, guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds, while uracil is typically found in RNA and pairs with adenine. So, guanine is not equal to uracil or cytosine in a double helix.
That depends on what the molecule is. In DNA, there will be the same concentration of each, because they are paired, and DNA is a double stranded molecule. Thus, for each cytosine, there will be a guanine, and vice versa. In RNA however, it is single stranded, so the two do not have to match exactly.
The number of guanine. In DNA, cytosine always pairs with guanine through hydrogen bonding. This relationship forms one of the complementary base pairs in the double helix structure of DNA.
Based on the rule of complementary base pairing, the number (percentage) of adenine is equal to the number (percentage) of thymine, and the number (percentage) of cytosine is equal to the number (percentage) of guanine.
DNA contains four nucleic acid bases. These can be remembered by the acronym ACGT where the A stands for adenine, the C stands for cytosine, the G stands for guanine, and the T stands for thymine.
There is no consistent amount of guanine in everyone's DNA, but there is an equal amount of guanine and cytosine as well equal amounts of thymine and adenine.

Yes, if all is normal.
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.

Chargaff observed that the number of Guanine units in a section/piece of DNA was the same as the number of Cysteine units and that the number of Thymine units equaled the number of Adenine units. This matched the double helix structure because Cysteine pairs with Guanine, and Thymine pairs with Adenine - meaning that Chargaff was right in that there must be an equal number of Cysteines and Guanines as well as equal Thymines and Adenines.
