Question 41

A genomic analysis of a double-stranded DNA plasmid extracted from a novel halophilic archaeon reveals that 18% of the nucleotides contain the purine base adenine (A).

What are the expected percentages of the remaining nitrogenous bases in this plasmid sample?

A

Thymine (T) 32%32\%32%, Guanine (G) 32%32\%32%, Cytosine (C) 18%18\%18%

B

Thymine (T) 18%18\%18%, Guanine (G) 32%32\%32%, Cytosine (C) 32%32\%32%

C
