Question 26
5 / 5 pts
(Short answer) Scientists say that two DNA strands are complementary. Briefly describe
what is meant by complementary. Show one example in your response.
The nucleotide sequences of complementary strands are such that,
whenever an A occurs in one strand, there is a T in the other strand with
which it can form a hydrogen-bonded base pair. Whenever a C occurs in
one strand, a G occurs in the other. A is the base that is complementary
to T, and C is the base complementary to G.
Question 27
4 / 5 pts
(Short answer) Briefly describe how noncovalent interactions contribute to the threedimensional shapes and structures of RNA molecules.
Hydrogen bonding in regions of complementarity within an RNA chain
can result in the formation of a structure. If no complementary regions
exist, then an unstructured area will exist within the RNA.
Question 28

A-form is a right-handed helix while the Z-form of DNA is a left-handed
helix.
