Question

question 3 of 10
what complementary strand of dna would be produced from the strand of
dna shown below?
tcg ga
a. tga ct
b. acg gt
c. tgc ct
d. agc ct

Explanation:

Step1: Recall base - pairing rules

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

Step2: Analyze each base in the given strand

For the given strand TCG GA:

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

So the complementary strand is AGC CT.

Answer:

D. AGC CT
