Answer:
480 nucleotides comprise this molecule of dna
Explanation:
According to Chargaff rule,
- Adenine is paired with thymine
- Cytosine is paired with guanine
Given in the question
Adenine residue = 120
Cytosine residue = 120
So, [A] = [T]
i.e. [A =120] = [T=120]
again, [C] = [G]
i.e. [C=120] = [G=120]
hence, total number of nucleotides present
=> [A] + [T] + [C] + [G]
=> 120 + 120 +120 +120
=> 480.
