Detailed explanation-1: -Chargaff’s rules state that in the DNA of any species and any organism, the amount of guanine should be equal to the amount of cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to the amount of thymine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bases are the “letters” that spell out the genetic code. In DNA, the code letters are A, T, G, and C, which stand for the chemicals adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. In base pairing, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chargaff rule: The rule that in DNA there is always equality in quantity between the bases A and T and between the bases G and C. (A is adenine, T is thymine, G is guanine, and C is cytosine.) Named for the great Austrian-American biochemist Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) at Columbia University who discovered this rule.

Detailed explanation-4: -It specifies that the amounts of guanine and cytosine be the same. While the ratios of adenine and thiamine are the same. This rule was named after Erwin Chargaff, who discovered it in 1950. According to this model, the percentage of nitrogenous base pairs is equal to the percentage of double-stranded DNA.
