Problem: Replication creates a complementary strand of DNA. Given the following parental strand of DNA, what would be the nucleotide sequence of the daughter strand?AACTGGCATCGACTAGGG
FREE Expert Solution
The double-stranded DNA, upon replication, opens up (unzips) and each strand synthesizes its new complementary strand. This is the semi-conservative nature of replication: each double helix would have a strand from the parent and the newly synthesized daughter strand.
