Complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA that has been copied from an mRNA through a reverse transcriptase enzyme.
cDNA contains a copy of the original DNA sequence that made the mRNA - but without the introns (as these are cut out to create mRNA).

If the DNA strands are matched up what does that mean?
This means the two strands of DNA are complementary.
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
What is the complementary DNA chain of 5'-AATGSTA-3'?
Do you mean complementary DNA chain of 5'-AATGCTA-3' (not 5'-AATGSTA-3')A(adenine) bonds with T(thymine) and G(guanine) bonds with C (cytosine). So the complementary DNA strand would be: 3'-TTACGAT-5' .
Given the following strand of dna what is the complementary strand actggctac?
The complementary DNA strand to ACTGGCTAC is TGACCGATG.

What is mean by complementary strand of DNA?
its like a cell that runs throw you
What do thymine mean?
Thymine is the complementary base pair for adenine in DNA.
How are complementary of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.

The complementary strand of the DNA is TAA-GCT-ACG
What does the reaction in the test tube generate when complementary DNA is made for reading DNAen complementary?
recombinant DNA strand.
Is genetics DNA?
No, DNA is the substance from which genes are made. Genetics is the study of genes and their expression.
