Sagot :

The answer is B. GGCATTACGTA

If one DNA strand reads CCGTAATGCAT, the sequence of the complementary strand will be - b) GGCATTACGTA

Complementary base pairing

  • The nucleic acid sequence of bases can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs.
  • Adenine matches with thymine (uracil in RNA) and vice versa
  • Guanine matches with cytosine and vice versa
  • For example, the complementary sequence to C-A-T-G (where each letter stands for one of the bases in DNA) is G-T-A-C.

So, DNA strand -                        C-C-G-T-A-A-T-G-C-A-T

Complementary DNA strand -  G-G-C-A-T-T-A-C-G-T-A

Thus, If one DNA strand reads CCGTAATGCAT, the sequence of the complementary strand will be - b) GGCATTACGTA
