Cytosine makes up 42% of the nucleotides in a sample of DNA from an organism. Approximately what percentage of the nucleotides in this sample will be thymine? 

• 8%
• 16%
• 31%
• 42%

What is meant by the description "antiparallel" regarding the strands that make up DNA? 

• The twisting nature of DNA creates nonparallel strands. 
• The 5' to 3' direction of one strand runs counter to the 5' to 3' direction of the other strand. 
• Base pairings create unequal spacing between the two DNA strands.
• One strand is positively charged and the other is negatively charged.
