What is the compliment base of thymine

Biology

5 0
The answer is adenine.

The nitrogenous base pairings are always adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.

I remember this as

    · the two round letters (C and G) pair together
    · the two straight-edged letters (A and T) pair together

Hopefully that helps.

Answer:

Adenine

Explanation:

In the DNA molecule there is the pairing of a purine nitrogen base (adenine and guanine) with a pyrimidine (cytosine and thymine) and this complementary pairing is not random: Adenine always pairs with Thymine through two hydrogen bridges, and Cytosine always partners with Guanina for three hydrogen bridges. Thus, the amount of adenine is always equal to that of thymine and the amount of cytosine is the same as that of guanine. However, the amount of A + T is not necessarily equal to C + G.

With this, we can say that the complementary base to thymine is adenine.

Students are modeling mRNA during the process of protein synthesis. Which answer choice correctly describes the model of the mRN
ELEN [110]

The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of adenine is paired with thymine best describes the model of the mRNA strand being transcribed.

<h3>What is mRNA?</h3>

This is referred to as messenger RNA and is a type of single-stranded RNA which is involved in protein synthesis. It carries the genetic information needed to make proteins and is complementary to the DNA template strand.

It however has a different base pair to DNA such that uracil instead of adenine is paired with thymine.

This base pair difference is therefore described as the most appropriate choice in the description of the mRNA strand.
