The structural formula for the tetradeoxynucleotide
Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are defined as the polyhydroxy
There are five nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine and uracil. A sugar unit attached to a base form a nucleoside unit. A nucleoside unit attached to a phosphate group together form a
In DNA the bases present are adenine

- Write the base sequence for the mRNA that would be formed during transcription from the DNA strand with the base sequence GCCATATTG.arrow_forwardSuppose that 28% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule are deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate, and that during DNA replication the percentage amounts of available nucleotide bases art 22% A, 22% C, 28% G. and 28% T. Which base would be depleted first in the replication process?arrow_forwardSuppose that 30% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule are deoxyguanosine 5'- monophosphate, and that during DNA replication the percentage amounts of available nucleotide bases are 20% A, 20% C. 30% G. and 30% T. Which base would be depleted first in the replication process?arrow_forward
