Question

Part D

Now can you predict nucleotide quantities in a hypothetical scenario with more than four different types of nucleotides?

An alien species was discovered that has DNA comprised of 6 different bases: G binds to C; A binds to T: and X binds to Y.

Approximately 16% of this alien genome is comprised of nucleotides containing C, and 22% is comprised of nucleotides containing Y. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the alien genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing G, T, A, and X.

(a) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of G.
(b) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of T.
(c) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of A.
(d) _____% of the alien genome is comprised of X.

Enter your answer as four numbers, separated by commas (example: 12, 26, 32, 10).

Explanation / Answer

In nucleotide pair, one nucleotide binds with another single nucleotide, so they should be in same numbr.

(a) ___16__% of the alien genome is comprised of G.
(b) __12___% of the alien genome is comprised of T.
(c) ___12__% of the alien genome is comprised of A.
(d) ___22__% of the alien genome is comprised of X.

PART- A:

2. nitrogenous bases

3. purins

4. Pyrimidins
