Biomolecules - Result Question 52
####52. Chargaff’s rule states that in an organism [2003]
(a) Amounts of all bases are equal
(b) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of thymine $(T)$ and the amount of guanine $(G)$ is equal to that of cytosine (C)
(c) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of guanine $(G)$ and the amount of thymine $(T)$ is equal to that of cytosine (C)
(d) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of cytosine (C) and the amount of thymine $(T)$ is equal to that of guanine $(G)$
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) $\frac{A}{T}=\frac{G}{C}=1$
Amount of $A=T$ and that of $G=C$.
