A segment of DNA has 120 adenine and 120 cytosine bases. The total number of nucleotides present in the segment is

(a) 240

(b) 120

(c) 60

(d) 480.

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., A = T (120) and G = C (120), therefore, the total no. of nucleotides would be 120 × 4 = 480.
