Hi! I know that adenine is in ATP, and that mainly if not only it is used as energy carrier, but all bases should be roughly in the same proportions in DNA and RNA-s, so is there more adenine in cell? And side question, do bases just hang out in cytoplasm or wherever, or are they produced when needed? Sorry if similar question was asked.

As far as distribution is concerned though, here on the wiki page for [Chagraff’s rules](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargaff%27s_rules) which is related to nucleotide distribution and stuff, you get percentage frequencies of the different nucleotide bases. I may be interpreting this incorrectly, but you’d expect the two pairs of bases to be relatively even, since they occur in pairs. A/T and G/C…
But apparently that’s not the case? The listing for humans shows they percentages are close, but not exactly the same so there must be something I don’t understand in regards to their ratios being different.
Edit: I don’t know how to read.
