Which of these models of a DNA strand shows bases that are complementary to the ones on the student's DNA model?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which model of a DNA strand has bases that are complementary to those of the student's model. The focus is on understanding base pairing in DNA (A with T, and C with G). We will analyze each option to determine the correct answer.
Answer
Option D: G T C G T A G
The model that shows bases complementary to the student's DNA model is option D: G T C G T A G.
Answer for screen readers
The model that shows bases complementary to the student's DNA model is option D: G T C G T A G.
More Information
In DNA, complementary bases are held together by hydrogen bonds: Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. This complementary nature facilitates DNA replication and function.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing base pairs, such as mismatching A with G instead of T.
