Answer:

22% base G

Explanation:

background info

nucleotides pairs:

T-A (thymine- adenine)

C-G (cytosine- guanine)

because they are pairs, there is an equal amount of T and A. and an equal amount of C and G

# of T= # of A

# of C= # of G

-----------solve

28% is T, then 28% is A

28*2=56%

100-56= 44%

44% left for C and G

44/2=22 (because C and G amounts are equal)

22% C and 22% G
