Question

. You need the strongest dissociation energy to break me because I have the strongest complementary base bond. Who am I? A A:U B All are equal C A:T D G:C

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\mathfrak{(D) \ G:C}}$

Explanation:

• The bases in the two complementary strands are paired through hydrogen bonds forming base pairs (bp).
• Greater the number of hydrogen bond stronger dissociation energy is needed to break the bond.
• Adenine (A) forms two H-bonds with Thymine (T)/Uracil (U).
• Guanine (G) is bounded with Cytosine (C) with three H-bonds.

As the G:C have 3 H-bonds and A:U & A:T have 2 H-bonds. So, we can say that G:C have strongest complementary bond and it needs strongest dissociation energy to break the bond.

Answer 2

You need the strongest dissociation energy to break me because I have the strongest complementary base bond. Who am I? A A:U B All are equal C A:T ✔️D G:C
