What is the base term that means base-pairing?
Base pairing refers to the pairing of complimentary nitrogen bases, either during DNA replication, or transcription and translation. In DNA, the bases adenine and thymine pair together, and guanine and cytosine pair together. In RNA, the base uracil takes the place of the base thymine. The bases that pair together are said to be complimentary to each other.
If a strand of DNA were composed of the base sequence ATCG what would be the sequence of it opposing base pairs?
TAGC
What does the term complementary base mean?
DNA Bases are complimentary as each base only binds to one other (Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine).
The base sequence of RNA is what to the DNA from which it is transcribed?
complimentary For example, if the DNA codon is GCA, the complimentary mRNA codon will be CGU, according to the base pairing rule.
What is a molecole that consists of two complimentary strands connected by base pairs?
DNA
Is thymine a DNA base pair?
It is not a DNA base pair itself, it is a DNA nucleotide base. It does however, form a base pair when bonded with adenine.
Why is complimentary base pairing vital to the structure of DNA?
Base pair complementarity ensures faithful DNA replication. Remember that a base can only pair with a definite pair and not with just about any base therefore this ensures high fidelity of replication. If guanine can only pair with cytosine the same way that adenine can .only pair with thymine then the copying of the DNA will be accurate.
When a strand of DNA is ATCG what would the complementary pairings be for the replicated strand of DNA?
TAGC.
DNA is a chemical code called?
Every strand of DNA has a different code made out of atcg
What concept came from studying the amounts of each DNA base in different organisms?
complimentary base-pairing
How is RNA reflection of DNA?
mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA molecule according to the base-pairing rule.
What is mean by the term base pairing how is base pairing involved in DNA replication?
