Question

a dna strand undergoing replication contains the bases tacgtt. which complementary strand does it produce? augctt atgcaa atcgaa aucgaa

Explanation:

Step1: Recall DNA base pairing

In DNA replication, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).

Step2: Pair each base in TACGTT

• T pairs with A
• A pairs with T
• C pairs with G
• G pairs with C
• T pairs with A
• T pairs with A

So TACGTT pairs with ATGCAA.

Answer:

1. ATGCAA
