Question

If one half of a DNA molecule has 8 thymine bases, what else is also true about the DNA molecule? (1 point)

There will be 16 total bases.
O There will be 32 total bases.
There will be 8 adenine bases.
There will be 8 cytosine bases.

Answer 1

There will be 8 adenine bases.

Thymine always pairs with adenine in DNA, so if there are 8 thymine bases that means there are also 8 adenine bases.

We don’t know how many total bases there will be, and because cytosine does not pair with thymine we don’t know how many cytosine bases there will be.
