a) thymine -
b) cytosine -
c) guanine -

a)- 27% because adenine and thymine always pair together so they will be equal to each other
b) and c) each will have 23% because cytosine and guanine always pair so they will be equal to each other
23% cytosine + 23% guanine + 27% Thymine + 27% adenine = 100%
