Brief Explanations
- Complementary nucleotide base pairs: In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). In RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). So, U - C is not a complementary pair.
- Characteristics of an ideal antimicrobial: An ideal antimicrobial should be microbicidal (kill microbes). Being broadly toxic (harmful to the host), allergenic (cause allergic reactions), or leading to antimicrobial resistance (reduce future effectiveness) are not ideal.
- Jumping genes: Transposons are known as "jumping genes" as they can move around within the genome. Plasmids are extra - chromosomal DNA, genomes are the complete set of genetic material, and mutations are changes in the DNA sequence.
