Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If one strand of DNA has the sequence TTACCG, the sequence of the other strand of the same molecule will be
A
AATGGC
B
TTACCG
C
AACGGC
D
AATGGG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –cell division for reproduction. If one strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence of bases 5’ATTGCA3’, the other complementary, antiparallel strand of DNA would have the sequence: 5’TGCAAT3’.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to our question, if a sequence of DNA in one strand is ATGCTTGA, then we can suggest a sequence of other strands because of complementary base pairing. The sequence of other strands will be TACGAACT.

Detailed explanation-3: -A strand of DNA with the sequence AACTTG will have a complimentary strand with the sequence. Explanation: There are four nitrogenous bases. They help in relation of one of the strand of the DNA with the others strand.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sequence of the mentioned DNA strand is 5’-ATCAGC-3’. So, the sequence of the complementary strand will be 3’-TAGTCG-5’.
