How did Watson and Crick determine base pairing?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Watson and Crick determined the base pairing by using the new information to construct a new double-stranded helix model with the nitrogen bases paired A to T and C to G in the center. This base pairing immediately suggested to Crick that one side of the molecule could serve as a template to exactly replicate DNA sequences to pass on genetic information during cell reproduction. This second, successful model was unveiled in February 1951.</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

During a physical change, the arrangement of particles may change but the mass, number of atoms and number of molecules will stay the same. ... During a chemical change, the mass and number of atoms is conserved, but the number of molecules is not always the same. Chemical reactions involve large changes in energy.

Suppose the DNA sequence for the first message in Part B began with TGT CGA instead of TGA CGA. Would the message change? Why or

alexgriva [62]

The message would change because each base has a specific pair that it bonds with. So the original strand's matching sequence would be (ACT GCT) if they were to change the last letter of the first set of 3 numbers, it would be (ACA GCT), and you can see there is a difference in the first sequence of bases. Hope this helps (:
