Why would you expect equal numbers of guanine and cytosine in a molecule of DNA, but not necessarily in a molecule of RNA?

    DNA is double-stranded, so there must be equal numbers of C and G because they pair to each other on the complementary strands.

    RNA is only single-stranded, so there can be any number of C and G. They don't pair to each other, because there's only one strand.
