Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of yeast cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide 5'-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-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 is most abundant?
