Answer: Thecorrect answer would be

3' GGGAACCTTGATGTTTCGGCTCTAATT 5'

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, that is, polymers of nucleotide. DNA consists of adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. In contrast, RNA contains uracil in place of thymine. Rest three nucleotide are same.

Please note that transcription (DNA to RNA) as well as reverse transcription (RNA to DNA) is done on the basis of base complementary nature.

The base pairs are:

  • adenine- thymine/uracil
  • guanine- cytosine

So, if adenine is present in DNA then uracil will be incorporated in RNA and vice-versa.

For example, the initial 5 nucleotide of given RNA are 5' CCCUU...3'

So, in DNA, based on base complementary rule, G will be incorporated against C and A will be incorporated against U. Thus, the DNA sequence would be 3' GGGAA...5'.

Similarly, the whole sequence can be worked out.

liberstina [14]
Coccus-shaped bacteria can be found in pairs, chains, squares of four, cubes of eight, or grape like clusters. More specificially, this type of bacteria found in pairs is called diplococcia, in chains is called streptococci, in squares of four is called tetrads, in cubes of eight is called sarcinae, and in grape like clusters called staphylocci.

A shining light casts a horizontal beam through a spacecraft. Which two observers would see this beam of light in the exact same
Bas_tet [7]
<h2>Answer: </h2><h3>The correct answer is option C. </h3>

<h2>Explanation: </h2>

From the following question, the third option is right, because when the shining light create a horizontal beam over the spacecraft, the observer who is on the earth would see that light in the same way at the time spacecraft is at rest and when observer in the spacecraft at the time spacecraft is at rest.

So this is the correct answer.
