Question

A single strand of DNA helix has the code CGCTAA. Which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix

Answer 1

The complementary code would be GCGATT. This is because G goes with C, A goes with T, and vice versa.

hope this helps

Answer 2

GCGATT

Step-by-step explanation:

The two different type of nucleotide bases in the DNA and RNA are composed of purine and pyrimidines. The adenine and guanine are considered as purine because it includes nitrogen ring bases with two carbons. The thymine and cytosine are considered as pyrimidines because it consist of one carbon nitrogen ring bases.

The nucleotide base, adenine is always paired with thymine and cytosine is paired with guanine. The DNA single strand consisting of code CGCTAA will pair with GCGATT that is the complementary code. The complementary base for adenine is uracil in the RNA. Thus, the complementary code on the other strand of DNA is GCGATT.
