A teacher writing to a confused student.
bacteria are microscopic (very tiny) organisms that are unicellular (made up of a single cell). One fundamental difference is that bacterial cells lack intracellular organelles, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and a nucleus, which are present in both animal cells and plant cells.
Answer: The correct complementary DNA sequence for the given sequence is D. TAG-CAG-GGT.
DNA contains nucleotide pairs on a sugar phosphate backbone. The nucleotide pairs are connected by hydrogen bonds and each nucleotide pairs with only one other nucleotide. The bases are of two types: purine and pyrimidine. The purine bases bond only to pyrimidine bases. The base pairing follows Chargaff’s rule where adenine forms a pair with thymine by two hydrogen bonds and Guanine forms a bond with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds between them.
