    In a double stranded DNA, the sequences of base pairs in one strand are AGCTAAGCC.      Whats the complementary sequence on the other strand?

    A)  TCGATTCGG

    B)  CGUAUUCG

    C)  AGCTAAGC

    D)  CAUTAUCG

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     DNA is composed of two strands wound round each other to form a double helix. With the double helix, the two DNA strands are organized in an antiparallel arrangement. The bases of the two strands form hydrogen bond to each other. A(adeninc) pair with T(thymine) and G(guaninc) pairs with C(cytosinc). This is called complementary base pairing.
