They tend to be bigger and stronger
Answer:
The proportions of nucleotides in the newly formed complimentary strand will be:
14% Thymine (T), 33% Adenine (A), 21% Guanine (G), 32% Cytosine (C).
Explanation:
In a double stranded DNA, the nucleotides of one strand binds with nucleotides of another strand through hydrogen bonds.
Adenine binds with thymine by two hydrogen bonds (A=T) and guanine binds with cytosine by three hydrogen bonds (G≡C).
So, the complimentary strand must have
- thymine equal to the amount of adenine in template strand.
- adenine equal to the amount of thymine in template strand.
- guanine equal to the amount of cytosine in template strand.
- cytosine equal to the amount of guanine in template strand.
For if it is proved wrong you can retry.
