Question

If one strand of dna had a base sequence of a-t-t-g-c-a, what base order would be found on the complementary strand of dna?

Answer 1

Answer:

The complementary base order would be T-A-A-C-G-T.

Explanation:

Guanine (G), Adenine (A), Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) are the nitrogenous bases of DNA. They can be found throughout the DNA molecule, as it is the constitution of their strands. These bases are complementary to each other and allow the strands of DNA to be held together by the complementarity between them. This is because A binds with T and G binds with C. Therefore, if a DNA strand had an A-T-T-G-C-A base sequence, it would have a complementary base order of T-A-A-C-G-T.

Answer 2

The complementary strand of DNA would be, t-a-a-c-g-t.
