A and T have the right functional groups on them that allow 2 hydrogen bonds to form. G and C form 3 hydrogen bonds - and so are different.

When the DNA/RNA Polymerase is adding new nucleotides during replication, it checks that the right bases have been added.

What is the nonsense strand of DNA sequence t-a-c-c-a-a-g-c-t-a-c-c-t-a-t-t-a-a-c-c-g?

The nonsense strand of the given DNA sequence T-A-C-C-A-A-G-C-T-A-C-C-T-A-T-T-A-A-C-C-G is T-A-G-G-T-T-C-G-A-T-G-G-A-T-A-A-T-G-G-C. This sequence represents the complementary base pairs to the original sequence, following the A-T and G-C base pairing rule.

What letters represent the four nitrogen bases of DNA?

The four nitrogen bases of DNA are represented by the letters A, T, G, and C. A stands for adenine, T stands for thymine, G stands for guanine, and C stands for cytosine. These bases pair up in specific combinations to form the rungs of the DNA double helix.


What is the corresponding sequence of t-a-c-a-a-c-g-t-g?

It will be based on the process in which it involved- for replication, transcription or translation As a rule the bases will be expressed in Capital letters If it is replication the sequence will A-T-G-T-T-G-G-A-C as the components of DNA is Adenine,Guianine, cytosine and thymine But if it is for transcription it will be A-U-G-U-U-G-G-A-C as in RNA thymine is replace by uracil Sreekala.K.P
