Answer:

26%

Explanation:

if cytosine makes up 24%, then guanine also makes up 24%.

add these to get 48%.

subtract that from 100% to get a remaining 52%

then split the 52% between adenine and thymine to tell you that 26% is thymine

The percent of  the nucleotides in this sample will be thymine should be considered is the 26%.

Calculation of the percentage:

Since

Cytosine makes up 24% of the nucleotides

So here the guanine should be 24%

Now if we add together should be

= 24% + 24%

= 48%

Now the remaining should be

= 100 - 48%

= 52%

Now here we half the 52% so it comes 26%

Therefore, the option b is correct.
