Chargaff's rules state that in DNA:

Answer: A = T and G = C (complementary base pairing).

  • A A = G and C = T, an unrelated pairing rule
  • B A = T and G = C (complementary base pairing)
  • C A is generally found in greater amount than T
  • D The ratio of A+T to G+C is generally constant within a species

Correct answer: B. A = T and G = C (complementary base pairing)

Explanation: Chargaff's rules: A = T and G = C (in quantity). This holds for double-stranded DNA of any species.
