An alien DNA-like molecule is isolated from the frozen remains of a life form found beneath the Martian polar ice caps.In this sample, for every base designated Q, there is twice that amount of base R; for every base Z, there is twice that amount of base S.Assuming that there is base bonding, a likely conclusion from these observed ratios is that one base _______ bonds with _______ base _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio suggests that base Q pairs with two bases of R, similar to how some nucleotides in DNA pair with multiple hydrogen bonds.
