This was discussed before but I couldnt find that post anywhere
Chargaff's rule is-
A+G=T+C
A/T= G/C
A=T=G=C
A+T=G+C
Ans given is 2
Is it 1??

Chargaff's Rule" Total Pyrimidines (C+T) = Total Purines (A+G) in DNA
A + G = C + T

Chargaff's Rule states that total purines equals
total pyrimidines.
In dsDNA (or dsRNA) (ds = double stranded)
% A = % T (% U)
% G = % C
% purines = % pyrimidines
% A + % G = % T (% U) + % C
In other words 1 is definately the correct
answer !!!!

Total purines(A+G)=Total pyrimidines(T+C)
which means that among 100 parts of DNA,50 will be accounted for by A+G and 50 by T+C So
A+G=T+C (STEP 1)
Taking this equation 1 step further,in 50 parts of DNA,25 will be accounted for by A and 25 by its complementary nucleotide T (The same holds for G and C)
So,
A(25 fractions) =T(25 fractions) =G(25 fractions) =C(25 fractions)
So,A=G=T=C
I'D GO FOR OPTION C

MockTurtle when you took it to the next level you
also took it out of the limitations of the Chargaff's
rule .. no doubt you may be right but it doesn't
comply to Chargaff's rule anymore ... I still say
that the answer is definately 1 and hold my
stance !!!

I wont go into much details about this..Chargaffs Rule is an elementary thing about which nothing much needs to be discussed.If u still think i'm in the wrong,look up the book..talk with some biochem pg's..heck,look up the internet even.Just for samplers i'm copy-pasting the material from one of the educational web sites on the net.Read it up
DNA is a double stranded helix
Once biologists determined that DNA was the genetic information, the race was on to find how the structure of DNA could account for its role in heredity.
In 1953, Watson and Crick (got Nobel in 1962) used X-ray crystallography data supplied by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin to determine the structure of DNA.
- in X-ray crystalography , X-rays are passed through a DNA crystal and the defracted X-rays are collected and used to infer the structure of the atoms in the crystal.
Watson and Crick used the crystallography evidence, plus the known structure of nucleotides and their covalent bonding, to construct wire models. In 1953 they announced that DNA was a double helix.
"Fig 10.3 shows the double helix. It is made of two polynucleotide strands twisted around each other. Specific base pairing in the form of H-bonding between bases keeps strands together and give DNA its shape. Strands are in antiparallel configuration.
in complementary base pairing, A pairs with T, and G pairs with C.
this explains Chargaffs rules, which indicated that regardless of where DNA comes from, the number of A’s = T’s, and number of G’s = C’s
The DNA double helix structure is correlated with its function. The sequence of nucleotides encodes information. The change in sequence via mutations is the raw material for evolution. The fact that DNA is double stranded and there’s complementary base pairing also allows for precise replication of the DNA molecule, as is required in heredity."
I would have posted the name of this (reliable) site but rxpg rules bar me from doing so.
U can always do a google search though.

chargaff's rule-an example
|
01.27.05 (4 years ago)
#15
|

hello
this is my first time posting so pls excuse me if i'm wrong in any way
i would like to give an example
in a certain fragment of ds-dna of 100 bases
a=30
so complementary base t=30
then g=c=20 each
the rule is a+g=t+c
as we can see a=g=t=c doesnt always hold good
coming to option 2 a/t= g/c =1 and similarly we can say a/g= t/c etc
those r all derivations
from the merit of it option 2 is also right
but to b precise the rule per se is a+g=t+c
so the answer is a+g=t+c

Well..this is a maze,isnt it?If u say A+T=G+C then definitely A=T=G=C.. and if A+T does not equal G+ C, then the other doesnt hold either.
Crazy,huh?

well mockturtle i donno what to say
ok leave the apparently complex chargaff's rule just consider
2+5=7 and also 3+4=7
but its not like 2=3=4=5 right?
u got it right contagious
ok if there is still more to b discussed then let the replies come
thank u
