Answer:

(3')CGCGTTATAAAGAGTTTTATAACGCG(5')

Explanation:

<em>The complementary strand is :</em>

(5')GCGCAATATTTTGAGAAATATTGCGC(3')

<em>The base sequence of the complimentary strand is:</em>

(3')CGCGTTATAAAGAGTTTTATAACGCG(5')

Because this sequence is self-complementary, the individual strands can form  hairpin structures. The two strands together may also form a cruciform.

Hairpin structures can be formed by sequences with inverted repeats through two major mechanisms.

  1. DNA is single stranded in cellular processes such as; during replication on the template for lagging-strand synthesis,  bacterial conjugation, natural transformation, and infection by some viruses. Single stranded DNA can fold into secondary structures recognized by proteins, involved in site-specific recombination, transcription, and replication.
  1. Hairpins can also be formed from double-stranded DNA  as a cruciform. A cruciform is a structure consisting of two hairpins extruding through intrastrand base pairing from a palindromic or inverted-reverse sequence.

Is interest in renewable resources new to the United States? Explain your answer.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Renewable energy is growing fast in the U.S., but fossil fuels still dominate. Most Americans (77%) say it's more important for the United States to develop alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power, than to produce more coal, oil and other fossil fuels, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey
