Chapter 12, Problem 13Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A DNA code that complements the given sequence has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

The four major nitrogen-containing bases are:

Adenine:

It is represented with the letter “A

Guanine:

It is represented with the letter “G”.

Thymine:

It is represented with the letter “T”.

Cytosine:

It is represented with the letter “C”.

Complementary bases:

  • • Adenine is the complementary base of Thymine.
  • • Cytosine is the complementary base of Guanine.
  • • In DNA, Adenine always makes a double bond with thymine (A=T) and cytosine always makes triple bond with guanine (GC)

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The connecting lines between the given and its complementary sequences that are representing the number of hydrogen bonds between each base pair have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonding between complementary bases:

The bases of nucleotides of one DNA strand makes hydrogen bonding with their respective complementary bases of the nucleotides of the other DNA strand. This hydrogen bonding keeps the two DNA strands of a DNA helix rigid and stable.

O Macmillan Learning Chemistry: Fundamentals and Principles Davidson presented by Macmillan Learning Poly(ethylene terephthalate), known as PET or industrially as Dacron, is a polyester synthesized through a condensation reaction between two bifunctional monomers. The monomers, ethylene glycol and terepthalic acid, are given. Add bonds and remove atoms as necessary to show the structure of a two repeat unit portion of a longer polymer chain of PET. You may need to zoom out to see the complete structure of all four monomer units. Select Draw / || | C H 0 3 © Templates More ° ° ° || C CC - OH HO OH HOC - C Erase CC OH HO C C 〃 C H₂ Q2Q
