Solution
The number of adenine molecules in a given DNA segment is 25 and the number of cytosine molecules is 45, the total number of nucleotides in the segment is 140.
A = T and G = C for DNA
now, total nucleotide = A + T + G + C
= 2(C) + 2(A)
= 50 + 90
= 140

In prokaryotes, DNA is circular and present in the cytoplasm but in eukaryotes, DNA is linear and mainly confined to the nucleus. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long polymer of nucleotides. In 1953, the first correct double-helical structure of DNA was worked out by Watson and Crick. Based on the X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. It is composed of three components, i.e., A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Different forms of DNA are B-DNA, Z-DNA, A-DNA, C-DNA, and D-DNA.
