Answer:

CAG ATC

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of most living cells. A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine). Each of these chains is known as the DNA strand making the DNA molecule double-stranded. Hydrogen bonds between the bases of the nucleotide hold the two chains together.

An hydrogen bond holds two nucleotides together using the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine base (A) will always hydrogen bond to Thymine base (T) while Guanine base (G) will always hydrogen bond to Cytosine base (C) in a DNA molecule. This is responsible for the double-helical structure of the DNA. Based on this principle, a DNA molecule with sequence: GTC TAG will have a complementary strand with sequence: CAG ATC.

Describe the chemical components of DNA.

Slav-nsk [51]

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:

1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)

Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by $(CH_{2} O)n$ . They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)

2. A nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines

The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.

The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.

3. One or more phosphate groups

A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by $(PO_{4} ^{-3})$ .

Which field(s) are created by an electron when it moves?

KATRIN_1 [288]

The answers are "<span>gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields." When too electrons rub against each other that creates a electric field. Electrons often stick together which causes a gravitational, and sometimes magnetic fields.

Hope this helps!</span>
