The one-letter abbreviation for the given
Introduction:
There are two types of nitrogenous bases in DNA: purines and pyrimidines. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases that are double ring structures. Cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidines bases that have single ring structure.
b.

- a Describe the three components of a nucleotide. b How does the structure of an RNA nucleotide differ from that of a DNA nucleotide?arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis diagram for the DNA fragment that is complementary to the guanine-thymine-adenine DNA fragment.arrow_forwardAlthough RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine? A virus is a particle that contains DNA or RNA that is surrounded by a coat of protein that can replicate only in a host cell. The influencza virus shown in this electron microscope image is an RNA virus.arrow_forward
