Since A pairs with T, and G pairs with C, then the sequence of bases in the strand of DNA being copied determines the sequence of bases in the newly copied strand. The bases are complementary (A gives T and G gives C when copied).

A fragment of a strand of nucleic acid isolated from a silk moth species contains the base sequence CAGACT The strand must be from?

The base sequence CAGACT corresponds to the DNA strand, and it would be complementary to the RNA strand with the sequence GUCUGA. Therefore, the original strand is the DNA strand.

How is the nitrogen base sequence of a gene related to the structure of a protein?

The sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, T, G and C) forms a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The code is a triplet code. This means that three bases code for one amino acid. So, the order of the bases in a gene determines the order of the amino acids in a protein.


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


Due to the strict pairing of nitrogen base pairs in DNA molecules the two strands are said to be what to each other?

Complementary. The base pairs in DNA always follow a specific pairing rule (A with T, and C with G), which means that the sequence of bases on one strand determines the sequence on the other, making them complementary.


What is the complementary base sequence of DNA strand?

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.

What nucleotide sequence ACCTG found in?

Yes, it's possible. The nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). However, the sequence ACCTG contains only one DNA codon, ACC, as codons are always a sequence of three nitrogen bases.


Which base sequence would be found on the complentary strand of DNA?

If the base sequence on one strand of DNA is A-T-G-C, then the complementary strand would have the sequence T-A-C-G. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.
