If 28% of the nucleotides in a dna molecule contain the base t, what percent will contain the base g? enter your answer as a whole number without the percent sign. for example, 5% would be entered as 5 and 37% would be entered as 37.

A DNA is composed of groups called nucleotides. One component of nucleotide is the nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are:

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C)

Where inside the nucleotides the amount of these bases are,

amount of base A = amount of base T

amount of base G = amount of base C

So if the nucleotide is composed of 28% base T then base A would also be 28% leaving us with 100 – 56 = 44% remaining composition.

Since base G and base C has also same amounts, therefore it will contain 22% base G and 22% base C.

ANSWER: 22
