You are designing a piece of DNA for a project and must select the appropriate nitrogenous bases. Which combination of nitrogenous bases would you find most suitable for your work? Select one: a. Thymine, Uracil, Adenine, Cytosine b. Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Uracil c. Adenine Guanine, Uracil and Thymine d. Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine - d. Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine These nitrogenous bases, in combination with deoxyribose sugar and phosphate, form the nucleotides that are bonded together to form a long polymer of DNA - the carrier of genetic information. The DNA sequence 3'-ATGATCCTT-5' is part of the template strand during DNA replication. Which of the following would be the correct sequence for the newly made DNA? Select one: a. 5'-TACTAGGAA-3' b. 5'-ATGATCCTT-3' c. 5'-UACUAGGAA-3' d. 5'-GCAGCTTCC-3' - a. 5'-TACTAGGAA-3'
