Answer:E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Chargaff's rules state that in a given DNA molecule the percentage of Adenine %A is approximately equals the percentage of Thymine %T and the percentage of Guanine %G is approximately equals the percentage of Cytosine %C.

Answer is

E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29
