Do the data in the table support the authors’
proposed pairing of bases in DNA?
A) Yes, because for each given organism, the
percentage of adenine is closest to the percentage
of thymine, and the percentage of guanine is
closest to the percentage of cytosine.
B) Yes, because for each given organism, the
percentage of adenine is closest to the percentage
of guanine, and the percentage of cytosine is
closest to the percentage of thymine.
C) No, because for each given organism, the
percentage of adenine is closest to the percentage
of thymine, and the percentage of guanine is
closest to the percentage of cytosine.
D) No, because for each given organism, the
percentage of adenine is closest to the percentage
of guanine, and the percentage of cytosine is
closest to the percentage of thymine.
