Answer:

There is no attachment to this question, however, the base sequence on the model built by the student is: CAGCCATC

The options of the bases on the complementary model are:

A) CTACCGAC

B) GUCGGUAG

C) GTCGGAAG

D) GTCGGTAG

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

A DNA molecule is a polymer biomolecule made up of nucleotide bases. It is a double stranded molecule, with each strand containing nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds. The pairing of nucleotides in one strand of DNA to another follows the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine binds to Thymine (A-T) while Guanine binds to Cytosine (G-C).

According to this question, a student builds a model containing the base sequence: CAGCCATC, the model that contains bases that are complementary to the ones built by the student is: GTCGGTAG
