Question
Chicken pox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, also known as VZV.The nucleotide composition of the VZV genome is shown in the following table.Nucleotide Percentage of VZV genomeAdenine (A) Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) According to the data in the table, the VZV genome is made up ofChoose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) double-stranded DNAAdouble-stranded DNA(Choice B) double-stranded RNABdouble-stranded RNA(Choice C) single-stranded RNACsingle-stranded RNA(Choice D) single-stranded DNADsingle-stranded DNA
Solution
The answer is (Choice A) double-stranded DNA. This is because the presence of Thymine (T) is a characteristic of DNA. In RNA, Thymine is replaced by Uracil (U). Furthermore, both strands of DNA are complementary, which means the percentage of Adenine (A) should be about equal to Thymine (T), and the percentage of Cytosine (C) should be about equal to Guanine (G). This is consistent with the data in the table.
