In a genetics lab, researchers are studying a DNA sequence extracted from a rare species of deep-sea bacteria. They analyze the nucleotide composition and find that the sequence contains equal amounts of adenine (A) and thymine (T), as well as equal amounts of guanine (G) and cytosine (C). What conclusion can the researchers draw about the structure of this bacterial DNA?
