Draw out the reverse complementary structure of the following nucleic acid. Would you expect to find this sequence in RNA or DNA? Why? Explain why DNA is the preferred molecule with which to store genetic information. GCUAAU
The reverse complementary structure of the sequence ie.
GCUAAU would be
CGATTA
WE Will find this because this given sequence is of Rna as tere is Uracil in the sequence in place of thymine. And the reverse complementary structure formed will be of the DNA
DNA is the preferred molecule with which to store genetic information BECAUSE use DNA Is more stable than the RNA because of its double helical structure And the DNA is repaired easily as compared to the RNA because DNA has thymine in its nucleotides as compared to uracil which is a fragile compound.
