Answer:
15% is adenine
Explanation:
adenine is paired with thymine meaning the amounts will be equal
DNA is a genetic material, which is made up of purines, pyrimidines, sugar, and phosphate backbone. Chargaff's rules state that the DNA should have a 1:1 ratio of purine and pyrimidines.
The percentage of adenine in the DNA sample is 15%.
In the given example, a DNA molecule is completely made up of thymine. Thymine is a pyrimidine that will form two hydrogen bonds with the Adenine.
Chargaff's rules state that the ratio of purine to pyrimidine is 1:1. In the given sample, 15% of the thymine makes up the DNA, then following Chargaff's rule, adenine percentage will also be 15%.
Thus, the ratio of adenine to thymine will be 1:1.
