Question 2

An analysis of a double-stranded DNA virus genomic molecule reveals that 22% of its total bases are adenine. A researcher separates the two complementary strands, Strand 1 and Strand 2, to analyze transcription templates. Chemical analysis shows that Strand 1 contains 32% cytosine and 18% adenine.

What are the percentages of guanine and thymine, respectively, in Strand 1?

Guanine = 32%32\%32%, Thymine = 18%18\%18%

Guanine = 28%28\%28%, Thymine = 22%22\%22%

Guanine = 24%24\%24%, Thymine = 26%26\%26%

Guanine = 26%26\%26%, Thymine = 24%24\%24%
