The basics of DNA knowledge is that there are four pieces and they have a rule as to how they connect. They are always in pairs. Now, the position and repeat of those pairs make us individuals. For example, you can have a sequence of 1,2,2,2,2,2,1 etc. The combinations are infinite, thus making us individuals. They control the way we think, eat, breath, move etc. Basically everything!

If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand of the two strands of DNA was known is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand?
Yes because the bases pair uniquely when the strands are joined together.
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
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
What is a characteristic of nucleic acids in which the sequence of bases on one strand is paired to the sequence of bases on the other?
Complementary Base- pairs
What are the three bases on one strand of DNA or mRNA called?
codon
If the sequence of bases in one DNA strand is TAG then the sequence of bases in the other strand will be?
The corresponding mRNA strand would be AUCG.
If one strand of DNA has the sequence atgtc what will the sequence of the second strand be?
tacag
If the base sequence on one DNA strand is ATGGCCTAG what is the sequence on the strand of the helix?
The sequence on the strand of the helix is TACCGGATC.
If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand of the two strands of DNA was known is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand?
Yes because the bases pair uniquely when the strands are joined together.
What does it mean to say DNA polymerase reads a template strand to make the complementary strand?
During DNA replication, the enzyme DNA polymerase catalyses the formation of new strands of DNA, using the old strands as models. DNA has a double-helix structure, with two strands forming each helix. Each strand is made up of DNA nucleotides, with the genetic information encoded in the sequence of different nucleotides (different nucleotides are distinguished by molecules called 'bases' attached to them, so the sequence of nucleotides is known as the 'base sequence'). The base sequence of one strand is complementary to that of its' neighbour - the base A binds with T, and C with G, so if one strand had the sequence ATTACA, the base sequence of the complementary strand would be TAATGT. When DNA polymerase creates a new DNA strand, it does so by matching nucleotides to the base sequence of one of the strands - the template strand. New nucleotides are brought in, which match the template in a complementary fashion (ie. A-T, C-G), and join to become one new strand. This new strand is complementary to the template.

in DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base
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.
Complementary dna sequence?
A complimentary DNA sequence is the genetic code on the partner strand that aligns with and corresponds to (matches) the code on the primary strand. Each nucleotide has a match, A matches T and C matches G, therefore the complimentary sequence for ATCGA is TAGCT.
