Question
Chapter 17, Problem 52QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind ‘the pairing found in RNA is only between adenine and uracil, and guanine and cytosine’ is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The four nitrogen bases found in RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. Among these, adenine and guanine have a purine structure and are called purine bases, whereas cytosine and uracil have pyrimidine skeleton and are called pyrimidine bases.
