The code for a DNA strand is CGTA. What is the complementary strand?
Simora [160]

The DNA molecule is composed of two long complementary chains of nucleotides. The complementary DNA sequence of CGTA is GCAT.

The DNA molecule is composed of two antiparallel strands of nucleotides linked together by hydrogen bonds.

In DNA, there are four types of nucleotides, each containing one different nitrogenous base (i.e., Adenine, Guanine, Cytocine and Thymine).

In RNA, Thymine bases are replaced by Uracil bases.

According to the base pair rules, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T), whereas Cytosine (C) always pairs with Guanine (G).

In conclusion, the complementary DNA sequence of CGTA is GCAT.

When the rocks are removed from a desert's ecosystem, the animals that depend on those rocks for homes would be in trouble. If these animals died due to predators and a lack of homes, then the other animals (predators) that depend on them for food would start to need other sources of food. This would cut into another predator's food supply and so on.
