Concept explainers

It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) a…

DRAW A DNA STRAND WITH 10 ADENINE BASES FOLLOWED BY 10 CYTOSINE BASES. IF THAT SAME STRAND BONDED TO A STRAND OF 15 THYMINE BASE AND 5 GUANINE BASES, HOW WOULD THE DOUBLE HELIC SHAPE VARY FROM A TYPICAL DNA DOUBLE HELIX?

Since the sugars and phosphates are the same on a DNA strand, we represent the strand with the nitrogen bases. If the first strand of DNA is AGCTGCAAT, what would be the nitrogen base sequence of the second strand?
