Question 25 of 25

Each of DNA's four kinds of bases can pair with only one of the other DNA
bases. Using the base-pairing rules, which of the following is the correct order
of bases that would pair with the following:
ACCATGATGCCA
OA. GTTGCAAGATTA
OB. GTTAGCGACTTG
C. TGGTACTACGGT
OD. TGGTCAATGCCA

Answer 1

The correct order of bases that would pair with ACCATGATGCCA is TGGTCAATGCCA.

Step-by-step explanation:

In DNA, each base pairs with a specific complementary base. Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T), and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G). To determine the correct order of bases that would pair with the given DNA sequence ACCATGATGCCA, we need to identify the complementary bases for each nucleotide:

• A pairs with T
• C pairs with G
• G pairs with C
• T pairs with A

Applying these pairing rules to the given DNA sequence, the correct order of bases that would pair with ACCATGATGCCA is TGGTCAATGCCA. Therefore, option OD is the correct answer.
