Equal Amounts Base Dna Nitrogenous Explain Molecule Adenine

Front Explain why a DNA molecule has equal amounts of adenine and thymine and equal amounts of cytosine and guanine.

  • This therefore means that for every nitrogenous base there will be an equal amount of its complementary base pair present on the opposite strand
