What are complementary base patterns? Why are they important?

Biology
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Answer: </h2>

Complementary base patterns are the phenomenon in which guanine binds with cytosine and adenine paired with thymine in DNA

<h2>Explanation: </h2>
  • Complimentary base are the base of DNA and RNA. These base constitutes the structure of Nucleic acids(DNA and RNA).
  • For DNA complimentary base are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Guanine is a complementary base of cytosine, whereas adenine is a complementary base of thymine.
  • In RNA uracil is present rather than thymine.
  • Complimentary base patterns are the arrangement of the complimentary base.
  • The Complementary base pairing is important as in DNA the base pairs are arranged in sauch a way that give the DNA a helical structure.  
  • Arrangement of base pair helps in matching the DNA.

Result: Complementary base patterns are bases of Nucleic acids.

Who is responsible for determining the structure of the dna molecule
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: James Watson and Francis Crick

Explanation:

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick are responsible for determining the structure of DNA. James and Watson proposed that the DNA is made up of a double polynucleotide chains that are twisted around each other to forming a helical structure. The two DNA chains runs anti-parallel in opposite direction to each other. Like the structure of the ladder.

The answer is James Watson and Francis Crick

If there were more weeds what would happen to the rabbits?
EleoNora [17]
Rabbits tend to wander a lot and if it runs into weed or grass... well it eats it. eating weed or grass allows rabbits to gain more energy. if the supplies of grass and or weed increases the population of rabbits would increase too. the more they eat the more energy the have and the more energy the have the more they reproduce.
more power = more reproduction
more reproduction = increase in population
so all in all the more weed, the better it is for rabbits since the amount of food increases

Describe the Watson and Crick model of DNA structure. How did it fit the data provided by Chargaff and the X-ray diffraction pat
icang [17]

DNA model given by Watson and Creek in the year of 1953 gave a very detailed study regarding the structure of B DNA which is valid till date and is essentially corroborating with Chargaff's data and Xray diffraction pattern.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The DNA is the most common nucleic acid found in the living organisms as a genetic material. As stated by Watson and Creek, this DNA contains a double helical structure with two sugar phosphate backbones and the nitrogen bases getting projected from it inwards. The backbones are formed of ribose sugar and phosphate and joined together with a phosphodiester bond. The ribose sugar is attached to phosphates at its 3' and 5' Carbon atoms. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine. The Adenine has two hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine has 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine.

Each full turn of a helix is 34A and each base pair is 3.4A apart. The distance between two strands of DNA is 20A.

Chargaff's rule regarding the equal amount of adenine and thymine as well as guanine and cytosine is matching with this structure. All the other rules also do match with this DNA structure.
