Complete the chart below looking at levels of nitrogenous bases in different species.
Transcribed Image Text:### Nitrogenous Bases Composition (%)
This table displays the percentage of different nitrogenous bases (A, G, T, C) present in the DNA of various organisms, specifically humans, chickens, and the bacterium *S. lutea*.
| Organism | A | G | T | C |
|---------------------|--------|------|------|-------|
| Human | N/A | 19.9%| 29.4%| N/A |
| Chicken | 28.8% | N/A | N/A | 21.5% |
| Bacterium (*S. lutea*) | 13.4% | N/A | N/A | N/A |
- **Adenine (A):** The percentage for human adenine is not provided. The chicken has 28.8% adenine, and the bacterium *S. lutea* has 13.4%.
- **Guanine (G):** In humans, guanine makes up 19.9% of the nitrogenous bases. No data is given for the chicken and the bacterium.
- **Thymine (T):** Thymine constitutes 29.4% in humans, while there is no available data for chickens and the bacterium.
- **Cytosine (C):** Cytosine makes up 21.5% in chickens. There is no percentage provided for humans and the bacterium.
The table highlights how the composition of nitrogenous bases varies among different organisms, reflecting their unique genetic makeup.
