Airida [17]

Answer:

<h2>5'-UCAAUGC-3'</h2>

Explanation:

According to base pairing rule of DNA and RNA, A is always pairs with T ( in case of DNA) or with U ( in case of RNA) with two hydrogen bonds(A=T), and C is always pairs with G in both DNA and RNA  with three hydrogen bonds ( C≡G).

As given here, one segment of RNA molecule containing sequence 5'-GCAUUGA-3', so as the rule, G always binds with C and so on, so the sequence of the binding segment would be 3'-CGUAACU-5'. it can be written as 5'-UCAAUGC-3'

What is one way during the G0 phase that a mistake during the cell cycle could result in problens for the G0 phase?​
Mrac [35]
The G0 phase (G sub zero) or the zero of G is a period of the cell in which it remains in a vegetative state. The G0 phase is seen as a distinct and quiet stage that occurs outside the cell cycle. This phase is related to the "Post-Mitotic" state because they are in a non-dividing phase outside of the cell cycle; some cell types (such as neurons and heart muscle cells) when they reach maturity (that is, when they are terminally differentiated) become post-mitotic (enter the G0 phase), and perform their main functions for the rest of the life of the organism. Poly-nucleated muscle cells that do not undergo cytokinesis are often considered G0 phase cells.
