We asses the contribution to the observed large scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, arising from both gravity waves as well as adiabatic density perturbations, generated by a common inflationary mechanism in the early Universe. We find that for inflationary models predicting power law primordial spectra %$a(t) \propto t^p, p > 1$, $\dk^2 \propto k^n$, the relative contribution to the quadrupole anisotropy from gravity waves and scalar density perturbations, depends crucially upon $n$. For $n < 0.87$, gravity waves perturb the CMBR by a larger amount than density perturbations, whereas for $n > 0.87$ the reverse is true. %For nearly exponential inflation, on the other hand, the contribution to the %microwave anisotropy from scalar density perturbations always exceeds %that due to gravity waves. Normalising the amplitude of the density perturbation spectrum at large scales, using the observed value of the COBE quadrupole, we determine $(\delta M /M)_{16}$ -- the rms density contrast on scales $\sim 16 h_{50}^{-1}$ Mpc, for cosmological models with cold dark matter. We find that for $n < 0.75$, a large amount of biasing is required in order to reconcile theory with observations.
