Which ratio is constant for DNA?
Explanation
ExplanationThe molar concentration of purine bases A and G is equal to the molar concentration of pyrimidine bases T and C because one of each type makes up a base pair. Because of base pairing rules, A = T and G = C. The specific A – T and G – C content varies from species to species. But in any one species the ratio is constant.
