Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acid base sequences that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs; the complementary sequence to G-T-A-C is C-A-T-G.
Detailed explanation-2: -The if given the base sequence for one strand: 5’-AGGTCCG-3’, the complimentary strand must have the sequence: 3’-TCCAGGC-5’.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the base sequence of one strand of DNA is CAT, TAG, CAT, CAT, GAC, the base sequence of its complementary mRNA would be GUA, AUC, GUA, GUA, CUG.
