A strand of dna contains 10% adenine. what percentage of cytosine must be present in this strand of dna then? a) 80%
b) 40%
c) 10%
d) 20%

Explanation:

First, recall the base pairs in DNA:

We know this strand of DNA has 10% adenine. Since A and T pair, there must also be 10% guanine.

So, A and T make up 20% of the DNA strand.

That leaves 80% for cytosine and guanine. They are pairs, so they share this percentage equally.

There must be 40% cytosine and 40% guanine.

The strand of DNA has 40% cytosine

answer: b: experiments that showed that all cells are similar in how they metabolize and in their composition
