A gyre of DNA consist of 40% Adienine bases ,the number of hydrogen bonds is likely to be ...................? and how
a)30 b)32 c)22 d)16
plz ans.its urgent..................
The correct option is c.
Given, percentage of adenine = 40%. Thus percentage of thymine will also be 40% as the amount of A and T is always equal.
Now, one gyre contains 10 base pairs.
Therefore, number of adenine will be 40% of 10 = 4
As A=T, then T will be also 4.
Thus, A+T wiil be 8 and G and C will be 10 - 8 = 2
Now, there are two hydrogen bonds between A and T and three bonds between G and C.
Thus, total hydrogen bonds between (A and T) will be 8 x 2 = 16 bonds
and total hydrogen bonds between (G and C) will be 2 x 3 = 6
Total hydrogen bonds will be 16 + 6 = 22
