Both DNA and RNA are polynucleotides.
The table shows how the components of polynucleotides can be represented.
The diagram shows a sequence of bases in a DNA template (antisense) strand.
A | T | T | G | G | C | G | A | G | A | A | C |
The table shows some statements about the new complementary DNA strand and the mRNA strand synthesised using this sequence of bases.
For each statement, put one cross in the appropriate box, in each row, to show the correct statement about these strands.
Statement | Both the new complementary DNA strand and the mRNA strand | Only the new complementary DNA strand | Only the mRNA strand | Neither strand |
The number of guanines will be the same as in the template strand | ||||
The number of thymines will be the same as the number of adenines in the template strand |
||||
There will be no adenine present |
