DNA: Using the two deoxynucleotides you chose, draw the two monomers bound together into a compound, and label a phosphodiester bond.
Biochemist Erwin Chargaff was the first to note that, in DNA, [A] = [T] and [G]= [C], equalities now called Chargaff’s rule. Using this rule, determine the percentages of all the bases in DNA that is 20% thymine.

In DNA, spontaneous formation of smaller tautomers appears to contribute to mutagenic errors during DNA replication, while in RNA, they seem to be related to increased structural and functional diversity of enzymes and RNA aptamers (research this and confirm if it is false or real) ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has beta stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) in relation to the figure, anomer 1 has alpha stereochemistry with respect to the C anomeric of the pentose, and is making an N-glycosidic bond ( ) In general, in naturally occurring nucleosides,…arrow_forwardA lot of time and energy put into creating tRNAs; why?arrow_forward
