BCH4024 Sp25 OC E4 Q34: A DNA fragment containing the gene DRDOOM was isolated from a eukaryotic cell. This DNA fragment was mixed with mRNA expressed from gene DRDOOM. This mixture was heated up and cooled to room temperature to allow the two nucleic acids to anneal. An image of this DNA-RNA sample was then obtained by electron microscopy. The figure below summarizes the basic structural features of the observed double-stranded mRNA-DNA. Based on the figure, the top strand must be _______________. The arrow is pointing to a(n) _____________.
