Question

the following is the sequence of bases on one strand of a dna molecule. chose the correct base pair sequence: aaatgccatccgtca
a.tttaggg tagggagt
b.aaaacggaaggcaga
c.tttacggtaggcagt
d.ttttcggttggctgt

Explanation:

In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Given the DNA - strand sequence AAATGCCATCCGTCA, we find the complementary strand by replacing each base with its pair. A becomes T, T becomes A, C becomes G, and G becomes C.

Answer:

C. TTTACGGTAGGCAGT
