(a) DNA

(b) RNA

(c) double helix

(d) genome

(e) transcription

Introduction:

The two nucleic acids that is found in living organisms are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of DNA was found to be in the form of a double helix. The entire set of genes in an organism represents its genome. The process of formation of mRNA (messenger RNA) molecule from the double-stranded DNA is known as transcription.

what is a protein that contains a b-sheet and how does the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of the protein.
draw and annotate a b-sheet and lable the hydrogen bonding. what is an example that contains the b-sheet and how the secondary structure contributes to the overall function of your example protein.
Four distinct classes of interactions (inter and intramolecular forces) contribute to a protein's tertiary and quaternary structures. Name the interaction then describe the amino acids that can form this type of interaction. Draw and annotate a diagram of the interaction between two amino acids.
