Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a hypothetical nucleotide that contains a unique nitrogenous base (not adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil). Describe its potential impact on genetic information storage.

💡 Hint: Consider the role of base pairing and how changes could affect stability.

Question 2

Create a diagram showing the structure of a nucleotide, labeling all parts clearly. How would you compare this to the structure of a dNTP versus a rNTP?

💡 Hint: Don't forget to indicate the differences in the sugar component!
