Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The percentages of all the bases in RNA that has 20 % of U should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
DNA is double-stranded helix whereas RNA is a single-stranded helix
Therefore, due to the single-stranded structure of RNA helix, base rule cannot be applied to find the percentage of the remaining base.
