What happen to the bottom strand of DNA when there is a change in a base on the top strand?

Nothing happens immediately. But when the two strands separate and construct new strands. The bottom strand will replicate the old top strand. The top strand will create a changed bottom strand. The two new cells after cell division will have different genetic codes. Most changes stop at this point because the "NEW" code won't be viable.
Now if the change on the top immediately changes the bottom. Then the cell itself stops functioning unless it is a viable change.

∙ 8y agoyour face happens >.> which we do NOT want >:P
^^ That's just rude. and the REAL answer is if a change occurs in the base sequence then the DNA will most likely not do what it is soppose to do. For example, if it is soppose to produce a protein, it will most likely not work. The base sequence isvery important. :) !

∙ 11y agoThis is called a "mutation." What ends up happening depends on where the base that changed was located.
If the changed base is on the side of the DNA strand that is not used in making mRNA, there will be no difference in the final protein made whatsoever.
If the mutation occurs in a part of the DNA that is not coded to make a protein (so called "junk" DNA), there will also be no change in the final protein, because there won't be a protein made.
Even if the mutation occurs in a segment of DNA that eventually makes a protein, if the replacement base causes the mRNA to code for an amino acid that is similar to the original base, there will be little change. There is more to it, but that will probably suffice.

∙ 10y agoIf you were to change the base on one side of the molecule, you have to change the other base on the other side of the molecule, otherwise it will mutate.

Why can you predict the base sequence of one strand in a molecule of DNA if you know the sequence of the others strand?
in DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base
What is a folicle?
A folicle is the base of a hair strand.
Why can you predict the base sequences and a DNA molecule of DNA if you know the sequence of the other strand?
You can predict the base seqences of a DNA molecule if you know what one strand is, because of double Stranded DNA. Each strand matches up with a letter and repeats a pattern throught the entire DNA strand.
What happens if you change the 9th base from adenine to cytosine in the DNA Strand?
This would be a point mutation, which may be harmless, or could be lethal, depending on the protein in which it occurred.
What does the base in DNA molecule pair with?
The base on one strand pair with the base on the other strand, adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine, they join together by hydrogen bonds. Parent

What is the base sequene of the complementary strand if the strand of DNA is attccg?
taaggc
Does the choice of the base change the area of the parallelogram?
The choice of the base of a parallelogram does change the area because the base is always the bottom line of parallelogram.
What is adding base pairs to the strand?
Base pairing between the DNA template strand and the RNA nucleotides
What happens to a strand of DNA when there is a change in the base on the other strand?
This is called a "mutation." What ends up happening depends on where the base that changed was located.

If the fourth base adenine in the original DNA strand had been Thymine what would happen to the protein molecule?
the amino acids in that group would be different

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.
A DNA strand with the base sequence tgacgca codes for a strand of mrna the mrna will have what base sequence?
Remember that in rna Uracil replaces Thymine so ACUGCGU.
