Question
Chapter 22.1, Problem 2BTS
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The reason that the structure of DNA led Watson and Crick to point out “a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material”.
Introduction:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material that carries all the genetic information (in the form of genes) essential for life. DNA is located in the nucleus within a cell termed as nuclear DNA.
In 1953 James Watson and Crick gave a double helical model of DNA molecule. This structure led to the explanation about differences in DNA among different species.
The complementary pairing of bases plays an essential role in the replication of DNA as the bases are not forms in same manner in the organisms.
