In analyzing the number of different bases in a DNA sample, which result would be consistent with the base-pairing rules?
A) A = G
B) A + G = C + T
C) A + T = G + T
D) A = C
E) G = T

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The base-pairing rules in DNA state that adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the total amount of A and T will be equal to the total amount of C and G, making option B correct.
