Chapter 14, Problem 16Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of cycles required to create a million copies from just one DNA strand has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
DNA is the abbreviation term of “Deoxyribonucleic Acid”. It is a complex molecule found in all living things.
The primary function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them.
A parent DNA molecule consists of two poly

The "melting point" of a DNA molecule is the temperature at which the double-helical strand breaks apart. Suppose you are given two DNA samples. One sample, sample A, contains 45% G-C base pairs, while the other sample, sample B, contains 64% G-C base pairs. The total number of bases is the same in each sample. Which of the two samples, sample A or sample B, has a higher melting point?
A. sample A
B. sample B
C. The melting point is the same for both.
You ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.
Imagine a single DNA strand containing a section with the following base sequence, 5’-GCATTGGC-3’. What is the base sequence of the complementary strand?
