Each letter on a DNA strand represents a nucleotide, which is one of the building blocks of DNA. The four letters—A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine), and G (guanine)—correspond to specific nitrogenous bases. The sequence of these letters encodes genetic information, determining traits and functions in living organisms. This sequence ultimately guides the synthesis of proteins, which perform various roles in the cell.
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.
GGATCGA. Each base in the original DNA strand pairs with its complementary base (A with T and C with G) in the new strand during DNA replication.
The letter that indicates the strand requiring the function of DNA ligase is "Lagging strand." During DNA replication, the lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments called Okazaki fragments, which need to be joined together by DNA ligase to create a continuous strand.
With a small piece of primer,and active polymerase(enzyme) it replicates the complementary strand of the DNA
True, during DNA replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two identical DNA molecules, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.

After DNA replication, each new molecule has one strand of the original DNA molecule and the other strand is composed of new nucleic acids. This is due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA.
With a small piece of primer,and active polymerase(enzyme) it replicates the complementary strand of the DNA
The replication is semiconservative. Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule by the sequential addition of complementary base pairs, thereby generating a new DNA strand that is the complementary sequence to the parental DNA. Each daughter DNA molecule ends up with one of the original strands and one newly synthesized strand.
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
CCGTAGGCC is a sequence of DNA base pairs. It represents the complementary DNA strand to the original sequence GGCTACGG, where each base pairs with its complementary base (A with T and C with G).
True, during DNA replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two identical DNA molecules, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
DNA replication is semi-conservative. This means that each new DNA molecule has one original strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA.
The process of DNA replication is described as being semi-conservative. The complementary DNA strands are pulled apart, new matching nucleotides are connected to each separate strand, and the result is two new strands that each contain exactly one-half of the original DNA strand.
we started with a single strand DNA molecule.
DNA first unwinds by the polymerase into two strands, then polymerases run over the two strands, replace a new strand on each old strand, forming two new DNA with one new strand and one original strand in each. (The polymerase is the enzyme)
