Here goes:
If a sample of DNA were found to contain 20% of cytosine what percentage og guanine would be in this sample?Why?

A=T
G=C. Therefore guanine and cytosine are equal.So 20% of cytocine 20% and 20% of guanine containe DNA.
A is for adenine
G is for guanine
C is for cytosine
T is for thymine .

I believe its 20% because the amounts of cytosine and guanine have to be equal.

A - T (Adenosine matches with Thymine)
G - C (Guanosine matches with Cytosine)
Therefore, 20 % cytosine means an equal amount (20%) of guanosine.

since C bonds with G, hence they should have equal vol. 20%

like they all said, 20%, due to pair bonding c n g= 1:1

Remember your base pairs. A-T, C-G.
