Question

DNA has 2 strands. if the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use the information to determine the sequence of the second strand? Explain your reasoning for your response.

Answer 1

DNA has four main components.
Adenine=A
Cytosine=C
Guanine=G
Thymine=T

Since each letter has an opposite it would be possible by considering the pairs.
A:T
C:G

So, if one strand went as so:
AGCCTAGGTAC
The corresponding strand would be mirrored with the match: TCGGATCCTG
