How does the nucleotide sequence in one chain of DNA compare with the other chain of DNA?

Answer 1

The other chain is going to be the exact opposite of the first chain. In DNA, A pairs with T, and G pairs with C. In RNA, T becomes U. A stands for Adenine, T stands for Thymine, G stands for Guanine, C stands for Cytosine, and U stands for Uracil. So if one strand in DNA is : AATCGCTACG, then the other strand will be TTAGCGATGC.
To make it easier :
A T
A T
T A
C G
G C
C G
T A
A T
C G
G C

Answer 2

"The novel feature of the structure is the manner in which 2 chains are held together by the purine and pyrimidine bases...The bases are jooined together inpairs, a single base from one chain being hydrogen-bonded to a single base from the other chain, so that the two lie side by side...One of the paior must be a purine and the other a pyrimidine for bonding to occur. ...Only specific pairs of bases can bond taogether. These pairs are: adenine(purine) with thymine (pyrimidine) and guanine(purine) with cytosine(pyrimidine)." "... in other words, if an adenine forms one member of a pair, on either chain,m then on these assumptions the other member must be thymine; similarlly for guanine and cystosine. The sequence of bases on a single chain does not appear to be restricted in any way. However,if onlt specific pairs of bases can be formed, it follows that if the sequence of bases on one chain is given, then the sequence of the other chain is automatically determined.

Answer 3

Mistakes don't always end up as cancer. Mistakes in replication can be harmful, beneficial or have no effect. In fact, mutations are the basis of evolution.

Answer 4

they are complementary.every adenine with a thymine. every cytosine with a guanine. mistakes result in cancer
