Question

Please help!!!

The base sequence of a segment of DNA is shown.
Which base sequence correctly completes the DNA strand 2?

Answer 1

Answer is c, the bases that pair are C and G, and then A and T, so C is the answer

Answer 2

The DNA Strand 1 as
`\(3^(\prime)\)`, the complementary DNA Strand 2, read from
`\(5^(\prime)\)`, would be as follows:

`\[5^(\prime)` T A A C C ]

Now, let's check which of the provided options matches this sequence:

(A) (A T A A G G) - Incorrect

(B) (G C G T A) - Incorrect

(C) (C G C A T G) - Correct

(D) (T A T T G C A) - Incorrect

The correct option is (C) (C G C A T G), as it matches the complementary sequence to DNA Strand 1.
