Complementary Base Pairs
Write the complementary base sequence for the following DNA segment:
— A — C — G — A — T — C — T —
Step-by-Step
In the complementary segment of DNA, A must be paired with T, and G must be paired with C:
\begin{matrix} \text{Given segment of DNA:}&— \mathrm A — \mathrm C — \mathrm G — \mathrm A — \mathrm T — \mathrm C — \mathrm T —\\ & \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ : \quad \ \ \\ \text{Complementary segment:}&— \mathrm T — \mathrm G — \mathrm C — \mathrm T — \mathrm A — \mathrm G — \mathrm A — \end{matrix}
