Question

a single strand of dna helix has the code ataggc. which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix?
o auaccg
o cgctta
o gcg aat
o tatccg

Explanation:

In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Given the strand ATAGGC, we find the complementary bases:

• 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:

TATCCG
