Data, collected from DNAs of a great many different species, led Chargaff to the following conclusions:

A. The base composition of DNA generally varies from one species to another.

B. DNA specimens isolated from different tissues of the same species have the different base composition.

C. The base composition of DNA in a given species changes with an organism’s age, nutritional state, or changing environment.

D. In all cellular DNAs, the sum of the purine residues equals the sum of the pyrimidine residues.
