Recall that in biology you learned about Chargaff's rule which states that the % of Adenine in a DNA strand should always equal the % of Thymine, and the % of Cytosine should always equal the % of Guanine.
Adenine pairs with Thymine
Guanine pairs with Cytosine
Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine are all examples of .
