Each nucleotide base only bonds with one specific partner. The combination of two bases is called a base pair. Adenine always bonds with thymine. A-T, and Guanine always bonds with cytosine. G-C. Fill in the missing nitrogenous bases. I have attached the DNA strand to find the missing nitrogenous. Please find the incomplete DNA Molecule. The picture is the whole Figure broken into two pics because i could not get the whole picture into one.arrow_forwardWhich statement best describes the manner in which the genetic information is used inside cells? DNA is converted to RNA, which is then converted to protein. DNA acts as a messenger. It binds to a ribosome and provides instructions for making protein. Ribosomes make proteins by randomly linking amino acids together. Sections of DNA are copied into RNA molecules which serve as the instructions for making proteins.arrow_forward
