Which of the following facts relates to Chargaffs rule?
A. DNA contains a pentose sugar, nitrogenous bases, and a phosphate group
B. DNA is a molecule in structure
C. DNA contains thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine
D. Cytosine and guanine appear in equal proportions in DNA

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Cytosine and guanine appear in equal proportions in DNA.

Explanation:

Chargaff's rules state the relationship that exists between the nucleotides that make up DNA:

The amount of Adenine (A) is equal to the amount of Thymine (T), and the amount of Guanine (G) is equal to the amount of Cytosine (C). In synthesis: the total number of purine bases is equal to the total number of pyrimidine bases:

A + G = C + T
