Answer: Option B) determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein

Explanation:

The messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule carries a seqence of bases that is complimentary to the template strand of DNA.

Hence, instead of thymine, uracil nucleotides exists in the mRNA molecule; while the mRNA is transcribed to the corresponding amino acids.

For instance: a template strand of ACC CGG is transcibed as UGG GCC on mRNA, and translated to an amino acid sequence of Tryptophan and Alanine.

What was the actual proportion of the basis for equal amounts of DNA

Stells [14]

Answer:

Equal amounts of DNA contain equal proportions of nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, the nitrogenous base pairs (Purines and pyrimidines) have an equal ratio (1:1) in the DNA of all the organisms. More precisely, the amount of adenine is equal to thymine and the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine in the DNA of all the organism. A-T base pair has two H-bonds while G-C base pair has three H-bonds.
