A researcher measured the temperature at which two different samples of double stranded DNA denature separate into single strands Sample 1 denatured at a significantly lower temperature than sample 2 did Based on the data the researcher claims that the DNA in sample 1 is composed of a higher percentage of adenine and thymine than the DNA in sample 2 Which of the following best supports the researcher s claim The bonds between adenine and thymine are covalent bonds which require less energy to disrupt than those between cytosine and guanine Adenine thymine pairs denature at a lower temperature because they have fewer hydrogen bonds between them than guanine cytosine pairs do Adenine thymine pairs require less energy to separate because both are double ring bases Guanine cytosine pairs require more energy to separate because one is a single ring molecule and one is a double ring molecule 84 F Mostly cloudy
