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 asks which of the displayed models of a DNA strand has bases that are complementary to the student's DNA model. To solve it, we need to identify the base pairs that complement each other in DNA (A-T and C-G) and then compare them with the provided options.
Answer
Option C
The strand that matches the complementary sequence is option C.
Answer for screen readers
The strand that matches the complementary sequence is option C.
More Information
In DNA, each base on one strand pairs with a complementary base on the other, following specific base pairing rules.
Tips
A common mistake is not applying the correct base pairing rules, leading to incorrect sequence matching.
