You have been assigned a DNA stretch. What is the complementary strand when you replicate the template

Answer:

The complementary strands of a DNA are read in the opposite direction to one another

Explanation:

A DNA strand/stretch can be represented with a number of bases. The bases in a DNA strand are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The Adenine can bind to Thymine (and vice-versa) while the Guanine can bind to Cytosine (and vice versa). These bonded bases are called "base pairs".

<u>Complementary DNA strands are read in opposite direction to one another. </u>Each end of a DNA strand is either a 5' end or a 3' end. Hence, if one strand runs from the 5' to 3' end, the complementary strand will run from the 3' to 5'. Thus, they are represented "on paper" the way they run.

For example,

If the DNA strand assigned is AGTCTAG running 5' to 3', the <u>complementary strand</u> will be CTAGACT (starting from the 3' end) and NOT TCAGATC (which starts from the 5' end)

Describe hydrogen bonding
snow_tiger [21]

A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. This is not a sharing of electrons, as in a covalent bond. Instead, this is an attraction between the positive and negative poles of charged atoms.

Hope this helped :)

The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere. our atmosphere is attracted by earth's ___.
EleoNora [17]

The correct answer is gravity.

The planets and other heavenly bodies are attracted towards the earth by the earth's gravity. The pull which is formed by the gravity of earth holds the objects near the earth surfaces. The planets and atmosphere is also kept around the earth's surface by the gravity.

After DNA replication is complete, each strand of the original molecule is bound to a new complementary strand. This process is
miskamm [114]

DNA replication is called transcription, because the new strands are transcribed (copied) from the original molecule.  Hope this helps!!

If you cross two organisms that are heterozygous for a trait, what percent of
brilliants [131]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Here's an example: two chickens have the phenotype of white feathers and brown feathers. What percentage of the chicks will have the recessive color? First, you have to see the parents' phenotypes. Draw a punnet square. Put one of the parent's phenotypes (w and B) on the top, and the other parent's (w and B) on the right side going down. Whichever trait is dominant (brown) MUST be capitalized. Then, cross the two parents. first box on the top left would read 'ww.' The one below it is 'Bw' (put the dominant first). The right top is 'Bw' and the one below it is 'BB'. So if there were 4 offspring, these would be their genotypes: 'ww', 'Bw', 'Bw', and 'BB'. The only offspring that would have the recessive trait is the 'ww' child, because dominant overpowers recessive. So 25% would have the recessive trait and 75% would have the dominant trait.
