In the double-stranded structure of a particular DNA virus, 30% of the bases are cytosine. The expected percentage of adenine in this viral genome is

A. 10%
B. 20%
✓
C. 30%
D. 40%

📝 Explanation

According to Chargaff's rules, if C = 30%, then G = 30%. Total C+G = 60%. The remaining 40% is A+T, so A = 20% and T = 20%.
