For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc.

A segment of DNA shows bases in this order AGT CAC GCA, complete the corresponding DNA strand: TCA GTG?
GrogVix [38]

The answer is B: CGT


According to the base pairing rules, in DNA, adenine pairs with thymine (A-T), and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

The complementary triplet for GCA is CGT. So, for the DNA segment AGT CAC GCA, the complementary strand will be TCA GTG CGT:

Known strand:                  <span>AGT CAC GCA</span>

<span>Corresponding strand:      TCA GTG CGT</span>
