If 420 out of 2000 nucleotides contain adenine how many pyrmidines are there

Answer»

adenine(A) and guanine(G) = purines = two rings structure


thymine(T) and CYTOSINE(C) = pyrimidines = one RING structure


now, according to Chargaff ,

no. of A = no. of T and

no. of G = no. of C


420 = A = T

total A + T = 420 + 420 = 840


from 2000 nucleotides , 840 = A + T


so G + C = 2000 - 840 = 1160


since G = C ,

2 C = 1160

G = C = 580


now,

total pyrimidines = T + C = 580 + 420 = 1000
