Answer:

The correct answer is -

Thymine: 20%

Guanine: 30%

Cytosine: 30%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule which states that the purine residues are equal to the pyrimidines residue in DNA sample which means A+G = T+C where A is adenine, G is guanine, C is cytosine and T is thymine. It is also known that A is always equal to T and C is equal to G.

So, A+G+T+C = 100

20+20+G+C

100-40 = G+C

60= G+C

as we know G is equal to C similarly A is equal to T

Thus, G = C= 30%

    A= T= 20%

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the color change will be observed and the solution will turn purplish-black.

Explanation:

Iodine test is performed to test the presence of the carbohydrates mainly starch.

The iodine solution is chemically called potassium iodide which forms a yellow solution. The potassium iodide solution forms a complex with a starch solution which appears a purplish-black color which shows the presence of the carbohydrates.

In the given question, if we add the iodine solution to the beaker after a certain point of time then it will still form a complex with the starch and thus beaker solution will appear darker in color.
