Question
Chapter 30, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The biological function of DNA and RNA should be determined. The features of RNA structure and chemistry that make it so useful or important should be determined.
Concept introduction:
DNA synthesis can be defined as the process by which the deoxynucleic acids such as adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are associated together to form DNA.
RNA synthesis (transcription) is the synthesis of an RNA molecule from the nucleotide’s adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil. The
