DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). <span>DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.</span>

Given a template strand of 3' ATGCTTGGACA 5' and partially made complementary strand containing only 5' TAC 3', what would be th

madreJ [45]

<span>The enzyme DNA polymerase will form hydrogen bonds with the nucleotides of the template DNA and add new nucleotides, adenine will bond with thymine and guanine will bond with cytosine, forming the complementary strand.
</span>
<span>3' ATGCTTGGACA 5 is the DNA template
</span><span>5' TACGAACC .......3' is the complementary strand
you just need to join the right nucleotides. If there is no T, the DNA polymerase has nothing appropriate to connect to the A, so it stops there</span>
