Question

1. what color is dna?________________________
2. dna has the same ____________________ in most living thin
3. ______ is replaced with u in rna.

complete the sequence for protein synthesis below. (hint: dna→dna→rna→protein synthesis)
dna: a t g c c c a t a
dna: ________________________

Explanation:

1. Pure DNA is colorless; it only appears colored when stained with dyes (e.g., blue with methylene blue).
2. DNA shares the same chemical structure (double helix with nucleotide components) across most living organisms.
3. Thymine (T) in DNA is replaced by Uracil (U) in RNA.
4. DNA replication uses base pairing: A-T, T-A, G-C, C-G. The complementary DNA strand to "A T G C C C C A T A" is "T A C G G G G T A T".

Answer:

1. Colorless (or no inherent color)
2. Chemical structure
3. Thymine (T)
4. T A C G G G G T A T
