A nucleotide is about to be added to a growing strand of DNA. What factor determines which type of nucleotide will be added?

The nucleotide to be added is determined by the nucleotide on the DNA stand. They always come in pairs. G matches with C and A with T.

If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide base sequence of tcaggtccat?
If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide base sequence of tcaggtccat, its complementary strand is agtccaggta. Adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.
If an incorrect nucleotide is incorporated into a fanning strand of DNA will this mistake lie transmitted to the next generation of DNA molecules that forms from this strand?
If a wrong nucleotide is input it should be fixed by polymerase ,but if it doesn't then the nucleotide will be in next generation
Draw an mrna strand that is complementary to the dna strand aattgc?
DNA Strand: AATTGC mRNA Strand: UUAACG I don't know what the circle a nucleotide part means
Which type of mRNA nucleotide pairs thymine in the DNA strand?
Adenosine
Covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the of the next nucleotide bond nucleotides together in a DNA strand.?
Covalent bonds that sugar as one of one nucleotide to the next bond is together done come together as a DNA strand. This is taught in science.
What determines the nucleotide sequence of the newly synthesised strand during DNA replication?
It must be the mirror image of the original half strand. (and the other strand, which is the mirror of the first is making the mirror of the mirror ... the original !)
Why does a dideoxyribonucleotide terminate a growing DNA strand?
Because it lacks a 3' -OH (hydroxyl) group - the site of attachment of the next nucleotide.
If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide base sequence of tcaggtccat?
If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide base sequence of tcaggtccat, its complementary strand is agtccaggta. Adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

When is uracil used in DNA?
No, it is not found in DNA, thought it is found in RNA.
Which type of mRNA nucleotide pairs thymine in the DNA strand?
Adenosine
What is the role of DNA polymerese in DNA replecation?
to add complementary nucleotide respect to the old strand for new strand synthesis.....
Covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the of the next nucleotide bond nucleotides together in a DNA strand.?
Covalent bonds that sugar as one of one nucleotide to the next bond is together done come together as a DNA strand. This is taught in science.
If you had a small single strand of DNA with the nucleotide sequence cagtact what would the sequence be for the other DNA strand?
gcgtatagtccg is the DNA compliment
What is a nucleotide substitution error?
Before you know what a nucleotide substitution error is, you have to know what a nucleotide is. A nucleotide holds the DNA strand together and helps make copies. When a Strand is ready to be copied, Let's say one nucleotide reads for G(Guanine), then another nucleotide would be added, which would mean C (Cytosine) would be added. A substitution error would mean that, that instead of Cytosine being added, Thymine, Adenine, Uracil, or Guanine could be added, resulting in a mutation.
What prevents the wrong nucleotide from being added to the new strand during DNA?
DNA Polymerases
