Question
You have created a synthetic nucleotide, nucleotide X, which can be substituted into
a DNA strand and is able to pair with C nucleotides. However, a C-X pairing is joined
by a single hydrogen bond. If you were to create a DNA strand made with A, C, T and
your new nucleotide X instead of G the new strand would...
a) Denature at higher temperatures than a strand made with A, C, G, and T
b) Expect helicase would have more difficulty separating these strands than
strands made with A, C, G and T
c) Denature at lower temperatures than a strand made with A, C, G, and T
d) Not expect to see any differences in the physical properties of this DNA
compared to DNA made with A, C, G and T
