Answer:

Sucrose is formed when a monomer of glucose and a monomer of fructose are joined in a dehydration reaction to form a glycosidic bond. In the process, a water molecule is lost. By convention, the carbon atoms in a monosaccharide are numbered from the terminal carbon closest to the carbonyl group. In sucrose, a glycosidic linkage is formed between carbon 1 in glucose and carbon 2 in fructose.

Explanation:

Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (also known as a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis). During this process, the hydroxyl group of one monosaccharide combines with the hydrogen of another monosaccharide, releasing a molecule of water and forming a covalent bond. A covalent bond formed between a carbohydrate molecule and another molecule (in this case, between two monosaccharides) is known as a glycosidic bond. Glycosidic bonds (also called glycosidic linkages) can be of the alpha or the beta type.

Answer:

The complementary base pair is ATG TTT GTG ATA TGG CGC ATT TAC TAA

Explanation:

As per the complementary base pairing rule of DNA

C pairs with G and vice versa

A pairs with T (in DNA) or U (in RNA)

Breaking the given strand into triplets, we get -

TAC AAA CAC TAT ACC GCG TAA ATG ATT

ATG TTT GTG ATA TGG CGC ATT TAC TAA
