Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide 5'--3' has been covalently attached. after a short incubation, the beads are then extracted from the mixture. when you analyze the cellular nucleic acids that have stuck to the beads, which of the following molecules do you expect to be most abundant?

American scientist, linus pauling, was one of many scientists racing to discover the molecular structure of dna. pauling initially thought that the molecule was a triple helix. later, james watson and francis crick unveiled their double helix model, which turned out to be an accurate description of the molecule's shape. why did watson and crick succeed when pauling failed?
