Molecule 1 has the nitrogenous base sequence TCA AGT. Which set of bases in Molecule 2 can bond to that sequence in a complementary way?
a. UCAAGU
B. AGTACA
C. AGUUCA
D. UCAATA
Answer:
C. AGUUCA
Explanation:
DNA template strand and the corresponding RNA have complementary sequences. Adenine in the DNA template strand pairs with "uracil" base of RNA while cytosine pairs with its "guanine" base. Similarly, thymine base in DNA template strand pairs with "adenine" base in the RNA. This occurs since RNA does not have a thymine base. RNA has uracil base instead. Therefore, the molecule 1 with sequence TCA AGT would bind to the molecule 2 with the " AGU UCA" sequence.
The process is called metabolism. The food and liquid that is intake by the body is converted into energy that is used by the body to carry out daily functions is a process called metabolism. That is metabolism builds the body. It also breaks down food and keep the nutrients and pass out the waste.
