If you extract the genome of the coliphage X174, you will find that its composition is 25 percent A, 33 percent T, 24 percent G, and 18 percent C. Does this composition make sense in regards to Chargaff's rule? How would you interpret this result? No-the phage likely possesses single-stranded DNA. No-the phage likely possesses RNA and not DNA. Yes the phage likely possesses double-stranded DNA. Yes the phage likely possesses single-stranded DNA. How might such a phage replicate its DNA? The phage synthesizes a complementary strand of DNA prior to replication. The phage uses host machinery to replicate its double-stranded DNA. The phage is an RNA virus and does not possess any DNA to be replicated
