Chapter 4, Problem 10TYPSS
Summary Introduction

To explain:

A model to illustrate how the two particles (a circle and a square) could be brought together by linking them to short single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules.

Introduction:

The linking of two strands of DNA occurs by complementary base pairing. In the field of nanotechnology, DNA is used like Velcro to assemble tiny particles into structures that are < 0.0001 mm in size. If the DNA sequence linked to the circle is GGATC, then provide the sequence linked to the square and identify the 5′ and 3′ ends of each strand.

Try to propose structures for a genetic material that are substantiallydifferent from the double helix. Remember that the genetic material must have a way to store information and a way to be faithfully replicated.
Using the figure below identify: What is a function of introns and exons? What is a role of mobile DNA elements? What is a meaning of simple-sequence DNA?
The following is diagram of a generalized tetranucleotide. Carbons exist at corners on the shapes and phosphate groups are filled circles. A. Is this a DNA or an RNA Molecule? B. Where is the 3’ end of this tetranucleotide? C. Given that the DNA strand which served as a template for the synthesis of this tetranucleotide was composed of the bases 5’-ACAG-3’, where are the expected bases?
