The tangent plane at the point x=a, y=b is the plane that contains all the tangent vectors (at the point) of curves on the surface that pass through the point (a,b,f(a,b)). Another way to define it is to say that this is the plane through the point (a,b,f(a,b)) which is perpendicular to the NORMAL to the surface at that point. The NORMAL to the surface at a point is just defined as the direction perpendicular to all tangent vectors to the surface at that point. Therefore all we need to do to find the equation of the tangent plane is to find a normal to the surface at that point.
Apart from adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T) and uracil (U), DNA and RNA also contain bases that have been modified after the nucleic acid chain has been formed. In DNA, the most common modified base is 5-methylcytosine (m 5 C). In RNA, there are many modified bases, including those contained in the nucleosides pseudouridine (Ï), dihydrouridine (D), inosine (I), and 7-methylguanosine (m 7 G).
Three of the nitrogenous bases are the same for both RNA and DNA: guanine, adenine, and cytosine. Thymine, the fourth base pair found in DNA, is replaced by uracil in RNA. DNA has deoxyribose sugar while RNA has ribose sugar. The deoxyribose sugar has one less oxygen atom than the ribose sugar.NA is a doubled stranded structure, while RNA is a single stranded structure. RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. RNA can have 4 nucleoti â¦ des: cytosine, guanine, uracil, and adenine.
