Introduction:
Consensus sequences are a short stretch of DNA sequences that are commonly located nucleotides found at a specific location of DNA and RNA. These sequences are used for inter or intramolecular interactions. These sequences are similar in structure and function in all organisms. The consensus sequence is a calculated order that states the most frequent nucleotide at that position in the alignment.

Some function on the level of DNA, and others function on the level of RNA. Give one example of one that functions at the DNA level and briefly explain why the sequence requires dyad symmetry to work properly. Note: you don't have to give an exact sequence, just the name of the element. Edit View Incort Format Tools Tabloarrow_forward
