Question 12

A molecular biologist is engineering a synthetic plasmid for mammalian gene expression. Analysis of a specific double-stranded promoter region within this plasmid reveals that 31% of the nitrogenous bases are cytosine.

What is the percentage of each of the other three bases in this double-stranded promoter region?

A

31%31\%31% Adenine, 19%19\%19% Guanine, 19%19\%19% Thymine

B

19%19\%19% Adenine, 31%31\%31% Guanine, 19%19\%19% Thymine

C
