DNA has two strands.If the sequence of the nucleotides of one strand was known,is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the second strand

Respuesta :

yes. the nucleotides are A, T, G, and C. A and T pair up and G and C pair up. For instance, if your known strand is AGTCAG then the second strand would have to be TCAGTC. Also, if there is a U in the strand, it takes the place of T. so the original strand would be AGTCAG and the unknown would have to be UCAGUC.
