They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.

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.


What letters would form the other strand of the helix?

In DNA, the other strand of the helix would have complementary base pairs to the original strand. Adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. So, if one strand has the sequence ATTGC, the complementary strand would be TAACG.

How accurate is DNA testing of hair?

Very accurate to the base pair. The quality of the specimen matters as DNA can degrade. Short strand sequences (10-12 base pairs) can still be determined by PCR from one strand of hair.


What is the base sequence on the other strand?

To determine the base sequence on the complementary DNA strand, you need to know the base sequence of one strand. DNA is composed of four bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). The complementary base pairing rules state that A pairs with T and C pairs with G. For example, if the given strand is 5'-ATCG-3', the complementary strand would be 3'-TAGC-5'.


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 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.


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.

What is the complementary strand of DNA?

The complementary strand of DNA is a strand that matches the sequence of the original DNA strand through base pairing rules. Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G). This results in two DNA strands with complementary sequences that can be used for replication and transcription.


Why can you predict the base sequence of one strand in amloecule of DNA if you know the sequence of the other stand?

You can predict the base sequence of one strand of DNA if you know the sequence of the other strand because DNA strands are complementary. Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). This complementary base pairing allows the sequence of one strand to dictate the sequence of the other, enabling accurate predictions of the base sequence.
