Question

1. compare how are the four kinds of dna nucleotides different from each other?
2. apply concepts the diagram shows part of a strand of dna. using the set of bases given in the top of the strand, write the letters of the bases that belong on the bottom strand.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - pairing rules

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

Step2: Apply the rules to each base

For the top - strand bases \(G\), \(T\), \(T\), \(A\), \(C\), \(G\), \(T\), \(T\), \(T\), \(A\), \(C\), \(C\), \(A\):

• \(G\) pairs with \(C\)
• \(T\) pairs with \(A\)
• \(A\) pairs with \(T\)
• \(C\) pairs with \(G\)

Answer:

\(C\), \(A\), \(A\), \(T\), \(G\), \(C\), \(A\), \(A\), \(A\), \(T\), \(G\), \(G\), \(T\)
