Question

9. a. In the box A below, fill in the complementary strand of DNA to create a double strand. b. Next to the box, using two different colored pens/pencil, create two new strands from the original strand in the box A. Label which color represents the original strand and which color represents the new strand. Part b: Box A: | ΑΙΤΙ TA G C G ТА Ат Ат G C O

Answer 1

Part b: -

In DNA replication process, from one DNA double helix (two parents strands), another DNA double helix is created (two new strands). During the DNA replication process Adenine (A) is combined with Thymine (T) by two hydrogen bonds and Guanine (G) is combined with cytosine (C) with three hydrogen bonds. As the name suggests in the replication process exact copy of DNA is produced.

Parent strand	New strand	Parent strand	New strand
A	T	T	A
T	A	A	T
G	C	C	G
G	C	C	G
C	G	G	C
T	A	A	T
A	T	T	A
G	C	C	G

Here green color represents the parent strand and violet color represents the new strand.
