Cpairs withG

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

DNA is a polymer made up of two polynucleotide chains which coil around each other to form a most recognized animals and viruses have double helices that transmit genetic instructions for development, function, growth, and replication. Nucleic acids include DNA and ribonucleic acid.

02

Explanation

The nucleotides in mRNA are complementary to the bases in DNA in the following way:

Ais paired withu
