Replication vs Transcription If one side of the DNA strand is ATACGCATA, what is the other complementary side? ATACGCATA UAUGCGUAU TATGCGTAT AUACGCAUA

The complementary DNA strand to ATACGCATA is **TATGCGTAT**.<br /><br />Here's why:<br /><br />* **DNA Base Pairing:** DNA bases pair up in a specific way:<br /> * Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T)<br /> * Cytosine (C) always pairs with Guanine (G)<br /><br />* **Complementary Strand:** The complementary strand is formed by matching each base with its complementary partner. So, for the given strand ATACGCATA, the complementary strand is built as follows:<br /><br /> A -> T<br /> T -> A<br /> A -> T<br /> C -> G<br /> G -> C<br /> C -> G<br /> A -> T<br /> T -> A<br /> A -> T<br /><br />This results in the sequence TATGCGTAT. The other options provided represent RNA sequences (using Uracil instead of Thymine) or incorrect pairings.<br />
