A segment of DNA shows bases in this order AGT CAC GCA, complete the corresponding DNA strand: TCA GTG?
A: ACG
B: CGT
C: GCA
D: TGC

Respuesta :

The answer is B: CGT


According to the base pairing rules, in DNA, adenine pairs with thymine (A-T), and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

The complementary triplet for GCA is CGT. So, for the DNA segment AGT CAC GCA, the complementary strand will be TCA GTG CGT:

Known strand:                  AGT CAC GCA

Corresponding strand:      TCA GTG CGT
