According to Chargaff's rules,
A) the number of A-T base pairs is always equal to the number of G-C base pairs in all DNA molecules.
B) the adenine content in any DNA molecule is always equal to the thymine content.
C) the adenine content in any DNA molecule is always greater than the thymine content.
D) the guanine content in any DNA molecule is always less than the cytosine content.
E) there is no relationship between the ratio of purine and pyrimidine content in any DNA molecule.
Chargaff's Rules
Empirical rules stating that in any sample of double-stranded DNA, the amount of adenine (A) equals thymine (T) and the amount of guanine (G) equals cytosine (C).
Base Pairs
Base pairs are the pairs of nitrogenous bases that connect the complementary strands of DNA, consisting of adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine in DNA.
Purine
A type of nitrogenous base found in DNA and RNA, which includes adenine and guanine.
