How do I replicate this strand of DNA? AATAGTACGGAGTCGTGATGAAATTCT

Answer 1

 

Based on Watson and Crick model of the structure of DNA as a double helix came the discover that the replication of DNA is semiconservative.

 

The double strand opens and each of it functions as stamp for the build of a new molecule.

 

The combination of the basis is "complementary, meaning that Adenine can pair only with Thymine and Guanine with Cytosine, so it will be easy to write the sequence for each combination given.

 

 

Answer 2

To replicate a strand of DNA, you switch out each one with its pair. A and T go together, G and C go together.

 

AGTC would replicate to TCAG, for example.

 

AATAGTACGGAGTCGTGATGAAATTCT would become
