Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(d) : According to Chargaff's rules, the amount of adenine is always equal to that of thymine and the amount of guanine is always equal to that of cytosine i.e., $\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{T}(120)$ and $G=C(120)$, therefore, the total number of nucleotides would be $120 	imes 4=480$.\
