A portion of one strand in a DNA molecule has the following sequence of bases: TTAGCCAGTGCTA Identify the sequence of bases in the other strand of the DNA molecule that would hydrogen bond to these bases.
A)CCGATTGACATCG
B)GGCTAACTGTAGC
C)AATCGGTCACGAT
D)TTAGCCAGTGCTA
E)GGTACCTAGACGT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA strands are complementary and antiparallel. The complementary bases pair as follows: A with T, and G with C. Therefore, the sequence that would hydrogen bond to TTAGCCAGTGCTA is AATCGGTCACGAT, following the base-pairing rules.
