Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which explains how the second strand of DNA compares with the first strand of DNA?
A
The second is a complement of the first strand.
B
The second has more nucleotides than the first strand.
C
The second strand is a double helix, and the first strand is a double helix.
D
The second strand is coded to produce a different protein than the first strand.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The second strand is a double helix, and the first strand is a double helix. The second strand is coded to produce a different protein than the first strand. Q. During replication, the DNA template was exposed to show the sequence ACG.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which explains how the second strand of DNA compares with the first strand of DNA? The second strand is a complement of the first strand. During DNA replication, the DNA template is exposed to show the sequence ACG-AAT.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Adenine is bound thymine and guanine to cytosine. Due to this base pairing principle, the sequence of bases in one strand automatically fixes the sequence of bases in the other stand. Thus, the two strands are not identical but are complimentary.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bases are paired by This is called complementary base pairs. Thus one strand of DNA is complementary to the other strand (opposite/matching).
