suppose a double-stranded d n a molecule was shown to have 15% adenine bases. what would be the expected percentage of guanine bases in that molecule?



Answer :

if there is 15% Adenine in a sample of DNA, there will be equal amount of thymine ie. 15%.

So, you are left with 70% out of 100%

This 70% consist of both Guanine and Cytosine.

Now in DNA Guanine and cytosine are found in equal amounts as Guanine only binds with cytosine.

Therefore, out of remaining 70%

35% is Guanine and 35% is Cytosine

And here you have your answer.

35% guanine is present in a DNA sample having 15% adenine content.

Leukotriene inhibitor usage has not consistently demonstrated a decrease in the requirement for systemic steroid therapy, a reduction in the need for inhaled steroid use, or a cost-saving benefit. Leukotriene inhibitors are superior to placebo and equally effective as long-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilators for exercise-induced asthma; short-acting bronchodilators have not been studied.
