Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The base content of DNA consists of four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The base pairing rule in DNA states that A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G. Thus, the amount of A always equals the amount of T, and the amount of C always equals the amount of G. Therefore, the correct answer is C: moles of adenine = moles of thymine.
