Show how you arrived at your answers_ c) If Chargaff's rule-that the amount of A equals the amount of T and the amount of C equals the amount of G ~is valid, then hypothetically we could extrapolate this to the combined DNA of all species on Earth (like one huge Earth genome) . To see whether the data in the table support this hypothesis, calculate the average percentage for each base in your completed table by averaging the values in each column: Does Chargaff's equivalence rule still hold true?
