A DNA sample contains 21% adenine. What is the complete percentage base composition?
You are provided with a sample of aardvark DNA. As part of your investigation of this DNA, you transcribe mRNA from the DNA and purify it. You then separate the two strands of the DNA and analyze the base composition of each strand and of the mRNA transcripts. You obtain the following results: A G C T UDNA strand #1 19.1 26.0 31.0 23.9 0DNA strand #1 24.2 30.8 25.7 19.3 0mRNA 19.0 25.9 30.8 0 24.3Which strand of the DNA is the “sense” strand that serves as the template for mRNA synthesis?
Use the following information to
answer the next question.
A small segment of DNA has the following
sequence:
А -А -Т-С-Т -С -G-T-А
The sequence of the complementary DNA
strand is
а. G - G - C-т -С -т-А-С -G
b.T -T-A - G - A - G - C - A - T
с.А - А - Т- С -т-с-G-Т - А
d. C - C - G - A - G - A - T - G - C
