    It depends on the specimen

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The actual proportion of this bases depends a lot on the organism and the molecule, but it is mostly 60-40 and importance of it is that the purines need to be in equal amounts, and the pyramidines as well, so the proportion between purines and pyramidines is mostly 60-40%, but them between adenine and guanine the proportion is 30-30 and between cytosine and thymine should be 20-20.
