Bacteria and other microbes can be used to " clean up" an oil spill by breaking down oil into carbon dioxide and water. two samples isolated from the deepwater horizon leak in the gulf of mexico were labeled a and b. the dna of each was isolated and the percent thymine measured in each sample. assume the organisms contain normal double-stranded dna and predict the composition of the other bases.
-sample a contains 21.1% thymine
%a
-sample b contains 27.1% thymine

both samples are then denatured to remove the secondary structure. which will have the higher temperature to denature a or b ?
