According to Chargaff's rule of nitrogenous base pairing, which of the following statements is correct?
If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all thymine in a DNA molecule.
If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all thymine in an RNA molecule.
If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine equals the sum of all thymine in a DNA molecule.
If all adenine bonds to uracil and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all uracil in an RNA molecule.
