Summary Introduction

To review:

The variationin the curve if GC (Guanine–Cytosine) and AT (Adenine–Thymine) content is increased.

Introduction:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid) of every individual have a particular amount of GC and AT content. GC content is the concentration of guanine-cytosine and AT content is the concentration of adenine-thymine (nitrogenous bases) in the DNA. The melting temperature increaseswith increase in GC content. The graph (figure 1) showing melting curve of DNA.
