Directions: Drag the nitrogenous bases to the correct locations on the image. Each base can be used more than once, but not all bases must be used. A section of a DNA molecule is shown in the diagram below, but only one strand is complete. Add the correct nitrogenous bases to the molecule to form two complementary DNA strands.

Answer:

DNA strand: TGCTCAGAC

Complementary DNA strand: ACGAGTCTG

Step-by-step explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule consisting of two strands, where each strand is composed of a linear sequence of nucleotides (polynucleotide chain). Each DNA nucleotide is composed of 1-a deoxyribose sugar, 2-a phosphate group, and 3-a nitrogenous base. In DNA, there are four types of nitrogenous bases: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine, and Cytosine (C). These nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds in order to form the DNA double helix. By base pairing, G always pairs with C, and T always pairs with A, thereby the amount of G is equal to C and the amount of T is equal to A. In the RNA, T bases are replaced by Uracil (U) bases.
