Question

.The nucleotide sequence for one strand of
DNA starts with GGA AGA and so on.
Predict the nucleotide sequence of the other
strand.​

Answer 1

The nucleotide sequence of the other strand will be CCT TCT.

Explanation:

• The DNA is made up of two strands hence, the name double helix.

• The nucleotides of one strand form hydrogen bonds with the other strand to keep the DNA molecule intact and give the structure a double helical shape.

• The sugar and phosphates make the backbone of the DNA.

• In the DNA, adenine (A) of one strand will always pair with Thymine (T) of the other strand.

• On the other hand, Guanine (G) will pair with Cytosine (C) of the other strand.

• Hence, the sequence of the other strand will be CCT TCT.
