In sea urchin DNA, which is double stranded, 17% of the bases were shown to be cytosine. The percentages of the other three bases expected to be present in this DNA are :
1. G 17%, A 16.5%, T32.5%
2. G 17%, A 33%, T 33%
3. G8.5%, A50%, T24.5%
4. G 34%, A 24.5%, T 24.5%
Satellite DNA is important because it:
1. | shows a high degree of polymorphism in the population and also the same degree of polymorphism in an individual, which is heritable from parents to children |
2. | does not code for proteins and is the same in all members of the population |
3. | codes for enzymes needed for DNA replication |
4. | codes for proteins needed in the cell cycle |
