Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Chargaff observed that the amount of _____ was not equal to the amount of _____ in all tested organisms.
**Options:**
- O A: A + G; T + C
- O B: A; T
- O C: purines; pyrimidines
- O D: A + T; G + C
- O E: G; C
**Explanation:**
This question relates to Chargaff's rules, which describe the quantitative relationships between certain nucleotide bases in DNA. Although early interpretations suggested equal pairing, this specific question highlights there are cases where quantities of these bases do not match in various organisms. The options represent different possible comparisons related to these rules.
