Answer:

DNA of that particular species contains 23 % of C

Explanation:

Adenosine (A) is complimentary with Thymine (T), that means that there is 27% of A + 27 % of T = 54%

To calculate the percentage of Cytosine (C) we need to know that C and Guanine (G) are also complementary. That means that the remaining 46% is half C and half G.

Therefore, the percentage of C is 23%.

Answer:

The correct option is  23 percent of C.

Explanation:  

  • Here  A is the symbol of Adenosine
  • and T is the symbol represents Thymine
  • The Adenosine is complimentary with Thymine (T), Which means that there is a total of 27 percent of A + 27 percent of T then we get the total percent as 54
  • While calculating the percentage of  Cytosine, we need to know that C and Guanine (G) are also complementary.

These two are complementary means that the remaining 46% is half for C and half for G.

Hence the percentage of C is 23.
