Question

the bottom sequence below represents a dna strand acting as a template during dna replication. the top sequence represents a portion of a new dna strand. what nucleotide will be added next to the new dna strand? 5 tttgcggt 3 3 ttcaaagcgcatgc 5 nucleotide with a \a\ base nucleotide with a \t\ base nucleotide with a \g\ base nucleotide with a \c\ base nucleotide with a \u\ base

Explanation:

In DNA replication, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The new DNA strand is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. Looking at the template strand (3' - TTCAAAGCGCATGC - 5'), the next base after the partially - synthesized new strand (5' - TTTGCGT - 3') is C. So, the complementary base to add to the new strand is G.

Answer:

nucleotide with a "G" base
