What would be the correct sequencing of DNA to match A, T, T, G, C
Marianna [84]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The correct sequencing of DNA nucleotides to match A, T, T, G, C is T, A, A, C, G because the nucleotide matches are: Adenine-Thymine, and Guanine-Cytosine. This works both ways, A-T or T-A, and G-C or C-G. The correct sequence therefore is A.
