Explanation

In a DNA segment amount of adenine is equal to thymine. According to given information adenine and thymine constitutes 45% of DNA. So, guanine and cytosine will constitute 55%. Amount of guanine is equal to cytosine so amount of guanine in DNA will be 55/2 = 27.5%.

A recessive mutant is one which is expressed only in homozygous or hemizygous stage.

If the total amount of adenine and thymine in a double-stranded DNA is 60%, the amount of guanine in this DNA will be

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Adenine + Thymine = 60%

The amount of guanine + cytosine = 40%

So, the amount of guanine in this DNA will be = 20%

If T = 40%, C = 10% then G = ? in a pollen cell

Explanation

A+TG+C is constant (Chargaff’s rule) for a species and also A = T and G = C.

In a bacterium, the amount of adenine was found to be 18 per cent. Suggest the cytosine base composition from the following

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

According to Chargaff’s rule,

(A + T) + (G + C) = 100%

(A = T) + (G = C) = 100%

(18% + 18%) + 2G = 100%

36% + 2G = 100%

2G = 100% – 36%

  G = 32%
