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.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T G OH де OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
