Want to know:

Erwin Chargaff investigated the nucleotide composition of DNA. He analyzed DNA from various organisms and measured the relative amounts of adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) present in the DNA of each organism. Table 1 contains a selected data set of his results.Table 1. Nucleotide composition of sample DNA from selected organisms Which of the following statements best explains the data set?(A)Since the %A%A and the %G%G add up to approximately 50 percent in each sample, adenine and guanine molecules must pair up in a double-stranded DNADNA molecule.(B)Since the %A%A and the %T%T are approximately the same in each sample, adenine and thymine molecules must pair up in a double-stranded DNADNA molecule.(C)Since the %(A+T)%(A+T) is greater than the %(G+C)%(G+C) in each sample, DNADNA molecules must have a poly-AA tail at one end.(D)Since the %C%C and the %T%T add up to approximately 50 percent in each sample, cytosine and thymine molecules must both contain a single ring.
