In researching the structure of DNA Erwin Char gaff found the amount of adenine always equaled the amount of which other base?

1 Answer

Answer :

Thymine. Discovered in the late 1940s, this is known as "The Chargaff's Rules": DNA has equal numbers of adenine and thymine residues (A = T) and an equal number of guanine and cytosine (G = C). This was one of the most important features for Watson and Crick to solve the structure of DNA molecule in 1953.
