Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 7 Problem 20P

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

It should be noted that the in a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) guanine pairs with cytosine, adenine with thymine and vice versa.

Given that GC content = 48%.

Which Means

G + C = 48%

G and C = 24%.

Whereas,

AT % = 100 - GC%

= 100 – 48%

= 52%.

Hence,

A + T = 52%

A = 26%

T = 26%

Thus, the answer would be

A = 26%

T = 26%

G = 24%

C = 24%
