Question

a single strand of dna helix has the code ataaggc. which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix?
auaccg
cgctta
gcgaat
tatccg

Explanation:

In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Given the code ATAQGC (assuming it's ATA GGC), for each base:

• A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine).
• T (thymine) pairs with A (adenine).
• A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine).
• G (guanine) pairs with C (cytosine).
• G (guanine) pairs with C (cytosine).
• C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine).

Answer:
