∙ 10y agoThe base-pairing rule allows us to predict the base sequence of one strand of DNA if we know the sequence of the other strand. The base-pairing rule states that adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C). So if the base sequence on one strand is AGTCTA, the complementary sequence would be TCAGAT.

The order of bases in the two strands are identical.
There are only two base sequences, and a DNA molecule has each.
Every molecule of DNA has the same base sequence.
In DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base.

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.
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.
Is a DNA strand the same as a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule is composed of two DNA strands.
How many strands of DNA did you start with and end with?
we started with a single strand DNA molecule.

DNA molecule antiparallel Why?
The DNA molecule is anti-parallel. This is because the two strands are the opposite of one another, such that if one strand has the base sequence ATC, the opposite strand would have the base sequence TAG.
What is the relationship of the two DNA strands to each other?
The two strands in a DNA molecule (the polynucleotides) are complementary to each other. This means that the base sequence in one strand determines the base sequence in the other strand. This happens because of specific base pairing. An adenine in one strand always pairs with a thymine in the other strand, and a cytosine in one strand always pairs with a guanine in the other strand. So if you know the base sequence in one strand of the DNA yoiu can work out the sequence in the complementary strand. See: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/dnarep/basepair.htmlDNA strands run anti-parallel from one another, and have a double helix structure. The strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between base pairs that are weak individually, but collectively strong.
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.
Is a DNA strand the same as a DNA molecule?
The DNA molecule is composed of two DNA strands.
The RNA molecule is usually made up of how many strands?
The RNA molecule is usually made up of a single strand. This is unlike the DNA molecule which has double strands.
Then the two single strands of?
There are two single strands which are found in the DNA molecule. Each of strand will act as the template for the next one in the double helix molecule.
How many strands of DNA did you start with and end with?
we started with a single strand DNA molecule.
How can you predict the base sequence of a second DNA strand?
A=t c=g
Number of strands on the DNA molecule?
each strand in the DNA molecule has a gap of 3.4 angstrom(Ao) between them. the total length of one series of strand or 1 DNA molecule is 34 Ao. therefore 34/3.4=10. there are 10 strands or N2 base pairs in a DNA molecule.
HOW MANY STRANDS MAKES UP AN RNA MOLECULE?
Just 1 strand. DNA has 2.
