Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Watson-Crick base pair in DNA should be explained.
Concept introduction:
According to X-ray diffraction patterns of DNA, DNA is formed by two chains having a regular helical structure. Watson Crick base pair explains the structure of DNA, molecules containing hereditary information about the cell.

True or False.
Do single-stranded DNA strands stabilize other strands?
Close contact. Examination of the structure of DNA polymerases
bound to nucleotide analogs reveals that conserved residues come
within van der Waals contact of C-2'C-2' of the bound nucleotide.

- True or False. Just write T if it is true and F if it is false. In E. coli both RNA and protein synthesis take place in the cytoplasm. Okazaki fragments are ssDNA CHAINS OF 100-200 nucleotides long, primed by very short RNA primers in bacteria. In eukaryotic gene, the coding sequences are known as introns while the intervening sequences are the exons. The central dogma refers to the fact that proteins are products of information encoded in RNA using a DNA intermediate. The ends of the linear chromosomes are maintained by telomerase to prevent it from shortening during mitosis. The Shine Delgarno sequence is where the RNA pol binds during transcription in prokaryotes The sigma subunit of the E. coli RNA polymerase confers specificity to transcription.
