Question

If one side of a DNA molecule is GCGTAT, the complementary base sequence would

be:
GCGATA
CGCATA
CGCTAT
GCGTAT

Answer 1

Answer: CGCATA

Explanation:

When showing complementary DNA strands, you should use "A,T,C,G" base pairs. C pairs only to G and T pairs only with A.

EX:

A <-->T

C <--> G

When showing the complementary RNA strand, you use the "C,G,A,U." Where G cooresponds to C and A cooresponds to U.

EX:

U <-->A

G <--> C
