Detailed Solution

Given that the length of the DNA molecule is 476A° with 20% Guanosine. The pitch of DNA is 34 A0.

No. of turns = 476/34= 14 turns.

1 turn has 10 bp. Therefore, 14 turns has 140 bp. 

Total no. of nucleotides = 140*2 = 280

No. of guanine is 280*0.2= 56

No. of guanine = No. of cytosine =56

No. of A+T = 280-(56+56)= 168

No. of A = No. of T= 168/2= 84

Total no. of hydrogen bonds = (84*2)+(56*3)= 336
