If 30% of the nucleotides in a single-stranded RNA molecule are adenine, then what percent are expected to be thymine?

the base pair of adenine is thymine they are equal in amount in RNA so if 30% of the nucleotide in RNA is adenine so the percentage of thymine would also be equal to adenine that is 30%

If the DNA strand has 30% Adenine in its composition, it means that the same DNA strand has 30% thymine in its composition.

This is because:

DNA is composed of the nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.
These nitrogenous bases were paired with each other.
Adenine pairs with Thymina. While Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Therefore, the amount of Adenine and Thymine in a DNA must be equal. While the amount of Guanine and Cytosine must be equal.

In this case, we can conclude that if the DNA has 30% of Adenine, it is mandatory that this same DNA has 30% of Thymine.
