Chargaff's rules of base pairing are explained by which structural feature
of DNA?
Each strand of DNA contains a phosphate and sugar backbone.
The nucleotides of DNA may be arranged in a wide variety of sequences.
DNA is triple stranded, and covalent bonds between identical nucleotides
hold the two strands together.
DNA is double stranded, and hydrogen bonds between base pairs hold the
two strands together.

Which statement did Chargaff conclude based on these data?
(Note: A letter in brackets, such as [A] or [C], refers to the concentration of one of the
nitrogenous bases.)
in DNA molecules,
[T] > [A] > [G] > [C]
in DNA molecules,
[T] = [A] = [G] = [C]
in DNA molecules,
[T] = [A] and [G] = [C]
in DNA molecules,
[T] < [A] = [G] > [C]
Answer explanation
Equal numbers of A and T mean that those are equal.
[AND]
Equal numbers of C and G mean that those are equal.

DRAG AND DROP QUESTION
1 min • 3 pts
If a species has [35 percent adenine] in its DNA, what is the percentage of the other three bases?
[15% - (a) ]
[ (b) - Thymine]
[ (c) - Cytosine]
35%
Guanine
15%
Thymine
Uracil
Answer explanation
The species has 35% adenine in its DNA, so the remaining percentages must be distributed among the other three bases. Therefore, the percentages are 35% Guanine, 15% Thymine, and the remaining percentage for Cytosine.
