  • Calculate the percent of base present in DNA

    The rules of base pairing explain the phenomenon that whatever the amount of adenine (A) in the DNA of an organism, the amount of thymine (T) is the same (called Chargaff's rule).

  • Corresponding section (CTAATGT) of mRNA

    Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine with Guanine. Simple, isn\'t it?

  • Question about DNA code

    What is the mRNA sequence, and the amino acid sequence?? In order to solve this problem, we must understand basic base pairing rules in nucleic acids. Thymine base pairs with adenine and guanine base pairs with cytosine.

  • Complimentary base paring in DNA

    As we know that during complimentary base pairing Adenine (A) will pair with Thymine (T) and Gunaine (G) will pair with Cytocine (C). Two hydrogen bond is formed in between A-T & three hydrogen bond is formed in beween G-C. 4.

  • Structure of DNA and its replication

    It is enzyme driven process in which a new copy of DNA is formed having half portion contributed by the previous DNA and another half formed by complimentary base pairing.

  • Concise summary of Central Dogma with example

    Chargaff's rules gives us that adenine only bonds with thymine and cysteine only bonds with guanine.

  • Bacterial mRNA

    The classic base pairing rules are simple- guanine pairs with cytosine (G:C), and uracil/thymine pairs with adenine (U/T:A).

  • DNA strand

    The classic base pairing rules are simple: guanine pairs with cytosine (G:C), and uracil/thymine pairs with adenine (U/T:A), thus the strand of DNA that serves as the template for the mRNA is easily determined.

  • DNA sequence into its RNA equivalent

    Hi, DNA is made up of four nucleotides that get there letter names from the nitrogenous base they have (A is adenine, T for thymine, G for guanine, and C for cytosine).
