What are the bases of a DNA molecule?

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T), and Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C-G). In an RNA molecule, Thymine is replaced by Uracil, so it would be Adenine and Uracil (A-U) and Cytosine and Guanine (C-G).


If a DNA sample were composed of 10 percent thymine what would be the percentage of guanine?

There are four different nucleobases including adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Each nucleobase pairs with it's opposite, for example adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. Knowing this, if a DNA sample had 10% thymine that means it would have 10% adenine equalling 20% of the entire sample for the both of them. The remaining 80% of the sample would contain 40% cytosine and 40% guanine.


What nucleotide pais bonds would be found in the DNA molecule?

DNA base pair are Cytosine with Guanine and Thymine with Adenine.


Because of specific base pairing if one side of the DNA molecule had the nucleotide sequence adenine-guanine-adenine-cytosine-thymine the other side would be?

thymine, cytosine, thymine, guanine, adenine *HINT* "A" goes with "T" always and "C" goes with "G" always


Which nuclotide pair bonds would be found in an DNA molecule?

In a DNA molecule, the nucleotide pairs that bond together are adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G). These base pairs form the rungs of the DNA double helix structure through hydrogen bonding.


If DNA were 40 percent cytosine what would be percent of guanine?

20% because cytosine and guanine have equal amounts. Always


If a DNA molecule is found to be composed of 40 thymine what is the percentage guanine would be expected?

Since G Pairs with C, and A pairs with T....%G=%C, therefore the bases are also 40% Cytosine Final result of all bases would be: 40% Guanine 40% Cytosine 10% Adenine 10% Thymine


If the DNA analysis of a gene shows 20 adenine bases what would be the percentage of uracil?

as adenine is complementary to thymine,the percentage of thymine is 20% out of 100% 40%is adenine and thymine(20%A +20%T)the rest is 60% cytosine is complementary to guanine so the percentage of cytosine and guanine is 30%and 30%


Would the amount of cytosine and guanine be equal to each other in a RNA molecule?

The amounts of cytosine and guanine will not necessarily be equal to each other in a molecule of RNA. The concentration of cytosine (C) is equal to that of guanine (G) in molecules of DNA because DNA is a double helix. All the nitrogenous bases in one strand of DNA are paired with their complementary base in the other strand. As C and G are complementary bases, every time you find a C in one strand, the other strand will contain a G at the same location. Likewise, every time you find a G in one strand, the other will have a C. Therefore, the concentration of cytosine in a molecule of DNA will be exactly equal to that of guanine, assuming that there are no mismatch errors. RNA, however, is a single-stranded molecule. The bases in RNA are not paired with each other, so even between a set of complementary bases, there is no requirement that the concentrations be identical.


How many adenine bases would there be in a DNA molecule of 40 base pairs with 15 cytosine bases?

Since there are 15 cytosine bases, we can conclude that there are 15 guanine bases. That gives us a total of 30 bases, subtract that from 40 and you have 10 bases left. So then there are 5 adenine bases because there are also 5 more thymine bases.
