Approximately 16% of this alien genome is comprised of nucleotides containing c, and 22% is comprised of nucleotides containing y. given this information, calculate the percentage of the alien genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing g, t, a, and x. (a) % of the alien genome is comprised of g. (b) % of the alien genome is comprised of t. (c) % of the alien genome is comprised of a. (d) % of the alien genome is comprised of x.

(a) 16 % of the alien genome is comprised of G.

(b) 17% of the alien genome is comprised of T.

(c) 17% of the alien genome is comprised of A.

(d) 22 % of the alien genome is comprised of X.

Explanation:

Assuming the alien follows Chargaff's rules which states that DNA from any cell of any organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases.

So if:

16% contains C ; 16 % pairs with G = 32% C-G pairing.

22% contains Y ; 22 % pairs with X = 44% X-Y pairing.

44% G-C + 32% X-Y =  76%

100%-76% = 34% the remaining should be split between T and A which is 17% each one.

the offspring would all be white. if the parents are both white flowers then they have the genotype rr, which when crossed results in an all white punnet square.
