otal nucleic acids are extracted from a growing culture of yeast cells. They are then mixed with specialized beads to which the single-stranded DNA molecule with sequence 5’-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3’ has been covalently attached to the surface (see image to the right, where each black line represents a polynucleotide sequence). After a short incubation time, the beads are removed from the mixture. When you analyze the cellular nucleic acids stuck to the beads, which type of nucleic acid (i.e. DNA, rRNA, etc.) do you expect to be the most abundant? Why?
