The correct answer is option 4, that is, GCGATT.  

Complementary strand refers to either of the two chains, which forms a double helix of DNA, with corresponding positions on the two chains comprising of a pair of complementary bases. It is a section of one nucleic acid, which is bonded to another by an alignment of base pairs.  

In nature, complementarity refers to the base principle of DNA transcription and replication as it is a characteristic shared between the two RNA or DNA sequences, such that when they are arranged antiparallel to each other, the nucleotide bases at each position in the sequences will be complementary.

If one strand of DNA has CGCTAA code then the other strand will have GCGATT code.

Further Explanation:

DNA molecules exist in <u>the double-stranded form in the living organism. </u>These strands are antiparallel to each other because when one strand runs in 5’ to 3’ direction then the other strand runs in 3’ to 5’ direction. DNA is composed of sugar molecules, a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine) and a phosphate molecule. <u>The sequence of the nitrogenous base makes up the genetic code in the living system</u>. The code present on one strand is always complimentary to the code present on another strand as adenine always base pairs with the thymine and cytosine always base pairs with guanine. <u>The two strands of DNA joined to each other through a hydrogen bond</u>. There is the presence of a double bond between adenine and thymine and triple between guanine and cytosine. Thus, a DNA molecule has a double-helical structure.

How come one type of matter can be converted to a totally different one?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

En física, la materia es todo aquello que se extiende en cierta región del espacio-tiempo, que posee energía y está sujeto a cambios en el tiempo y a interacciones con aparatos de medida. Se considera que es lo que forma la parte sensible de los objetos perceptibles o detectables por medios físicos.

Etimológicamente, proviene del latín materia, que significa «sustancia de la que están hechas las cosas» y que también alude a la «madera dura del interior de un árbol»;1​ la palabra está relacionada con māter («origen, fuente, madre»)2​ y se corresponde con el griego hyle3​ (de hylos: «bosque, madera, leña, material»)4​5​ que es un concepto aristotélico de la teoría filosófica del hilemorfismo.6​

El uso moderno del término va más allá de la noción clásica de sustancia, y los físicos denominan materia a cualquier entidad cuya presencia en una cierta región del espacio-tiempo conlleva que el tensor energía-impulso para dicha región es diferente de cero.

Hurrrryyyy!!!<br> Describe what a moraine is made of and explain how this glacier feature forms.
Elenna [48]
Moraines are made of till. They form when a glacier stays in one place for a long time and deposits a pile of till, then it retreats and leaves a moraine.
