What does the term complementary mean when referring to DNA replication?
fgaets.
What does complementary bases in the structure of DNA mean?
The structure of DNA relies on a base-pairing rule. This means that in DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine and Guanine binds to Cytosine. The complementary base is the base that binds to the base in question. Therefore A is complementary to T, C is complementary to G, etc. So if you had a strand of DNA, for example; ATT-CCA-GTC The complementary strand (which would bind to the above) would be; TAA-GGT-CAG
How are base pairing rules and complementary base pairs related?
Base pairing rules and complementary base rules are related because of DNA. If one can find the base pairing on a strand of DNA, usually the complementary base is easily found.
What would the base sequences on the other strand of Dna be?
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
Which nitrogen base is the complementary base for adenine during transcription?
Thymine is the complementary base for adenine during DNA transcription. During RNA transcription, however, uracil is the complementary base for adenine.

What is a complementary number in algebra?
a complementary number is a number obtained by subtracting a number from its base. For example the complementary of 7 in numbers to base 10 is 3.

Do complementary base pairing match up with complementary sugars?
yes

Which is true of the base pairing seen between two DNA strands?
Complementary
What is the sequence of the complementary DNA strand gaattcggca?
Simple you just look at what base it is then what ever base would be complementary to it, is your answer. ATTGTCCAGT is your answer
The complementary base pairs in a DNA molecule are stabilized by?
hydrogen bonds
