Question
**Question:**

If a DNA genome contains 22% T, what percent of C is present?

**Options:**

- 28
- 44
- 22
- 56

**Explanation:**

In DNA, the percent of thymine (T) is equal to the percent of adenine (A) due to base pairing rules. If T is 22%, then A is also 22%. The remaining 56% of the DNA is split equally between cytosine (C) and guanine (G), since they also pair together.

So, C = G = 56% / 2 = 28%
