Predict the percent of adenine if cytosine makes up 20% of a DNA sample.
: If cytosine is 20%, guanine is also 20%. That leaves 60% total for adenine and thymine, so adenine would be 30%.

What are the key differences between DNA and RNA?
DNA is double-stranded, contains deoxyribose sugar, and uses thymine. RNA is single-stranded, contains ribose sugar, and uses uracil instead of thymine.

Why are hydrogen bonds important in DNA structure?
Weak hydrogen bonds hold complementary bases together while still allowing the strands to separate during replication and transcription.
