What would happen if hydrogen bonds form between any two nitrogenous bases in dna

Biology

ella [17]3 years ago
4 0
I believe that identical copies of original DNA wouldn't be formed. 
DNA has a strict pairing rule, adenine can only go with thymine, and cytosine can only go with guanine. 
This is because of thymine and adenine make 2 hydrogen bonds between each other, while cytosine and guanine form 3. Therefore bonding out of this order is impossible (unless it's a mutation in which there are exceptions). 
<span>When DNA replicates, each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strand of DNA. Hence the new strand that goes with the first original DNA strand is the same as the second DNA strand. 
</span>If the bonding between the nitrogen bases is messed up, the new strand of DNA will not be exactly what it should be. To demonstrate, if the nucleotide is thymine for the original strand, the new strand should be adenine. <span>However, if the bonding is arbitrary, then the new strand could be cytosine or guanine as well, therefore there is no definite answer to what the new strand should be. This will make havoc in the genetic codes and will most likely kill the organism. 
</span>I hope this answer has answered your question and good luck with your assignment. I apologise if I am incorrect. Have a good day/night.

The theory of plate tectonics:
sertanlavr [38]

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

  • The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
  • The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
  • This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
  • It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s
