The effect of tautomeric form of thymine rather than its stable form in a strand of DNA during replication is to be explained. Concept introduction: Tautomers are defined as constitutional isomers in which two or more isomers exist in equilibrium and are interchanged by the migration of an atom or a group within the molecule and nitrogenous base is defined as an organic molecule which consists of nitrogen atom and act as the building blocks of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The nitrogenous bases are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U). To determine: The effect of tautomeric form of thymine rather than its stable form in a strand of DNA during replication.

Solution Summary: The author explains the effect of tautomeric thymine rather than its stable form in a strand of DNA during replication.
Definition Definition Mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of itself. DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication. DNA replication is the most essential part of biological inheritance and is crucial for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissues.
