Question
If the amount of ‘G’ in a DNA sample is 20%. What will be the amount of ‘T’?
Explanation
According to Chargaff's rule in double-stranded DNA, G pairs with C and A pairs with T. If G is 20%, C is 20%, leaving 60% for A+T, so T equals 30%. This parity reflects base complementarity and antiparallel duplex stability.
