Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

If one side of DNA is A-T-T-C-A-G-T the matching base pairs would be ____

A	A-T-T-C-A-G-T
B	T-A-A-G-T-C-A
C	A-T-G-C-C-G-T

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Figure 9.8 The two strands of DNA are complementary, meaning the sequence of bases in one strand can be used to create the correct sequence of bases in the other strand. Because of the complementarity of the two strands, having one strand means that it is possible to recreate the other strand.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA base pair. Under normal circumstances, the nitrogen-containing bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG. The complementary base pairing in DNA is as per the Chargaff’s rules. According to these rules, purines always hydrogen bond with pyrimidines and vice-versa.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. A unit of two bases in a molecule of DNA or RNA. In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine (A-T), and guanine always pairs with cytosine (G-C). RNA is the same, except that adenine always pairs with uracil (A-U).
