If adenine didn’t always pair with thymine and guanine didn’t always pair with cytosine, the new DNA ladders wouldn’t always be

identical. Explain

Answer:

they wouldnt be identical because for example Guanine could be paired with thymine in the original DNA strand but could decide to pair with adenine in the replication DNA. that would make a different type of DNA.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a beautiful process. In DNA replication adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine. this ensures that a replication of the DNA will be the same type of DNA.

Replication works like this. Helicase splits open the DNA and each side is copied by DNA polymerase. If let's say the nucleotide bases for side 1 are ATGCGA then the DNA polymerase will pair these with the matching bases TACGCT which will make the same DNA but if each base could pair with any base they want that could create a few different variations of the original DNA. ATGCGA could very well be paired with TCGACA or CGACTA which would created two different types of DNA.

frozen [14]

Answer:

B. Base pairing occurs within an RNA molecule to give RNA the three-dimensional shape needed for specific functions.

Explanation:

Ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, is a type of nucleic acid found in living systems. In opposition to the other type of nucleic acid (DNA), RNA is a short single stranded molecule. Both DNA and RNA are made of nucleotides, composed of a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases and a pentose sugar.

The presence of ribose sugar and Uracil base in RNA instead of deoxyribose sugar and thymine base respectively structurally differentiates the molecule from DNA. However, base pairing occurs within the RNA molecule to form the three-dimensional shape of the RNA, which is key to the specificity of its function.
