the answer is C. because the pairs are unique to each other [a-->T, G-->C] then they are unable to form incorrectly. they still replicate incorrectly, of course, but not nearly as much error occurs
Yeh that's what I thought too but apparently I got it wrong on my homework. The class is online and we can make corrections but I thought it was right to begin with so now I'm confused
huh.
well, i doubt it is D. it is not necessarily because of the pairing that protein copies are made.
A could be referring to the 5 carbon sugar forming the helix of the DNA, but again i fail to see why the pairing itself has an affect on it.
i would argue that B is correct because like i said above a-->t only so using half the DNA strand and attaching a pair would provide a concrete method. it would be like so: 0-->1, 1-->0
0100110
1011001
you could use one line or the other to pair it with a matching value and end up with the same pair, if that makes sense.
Alright well thanks a lot i guess I'll just have to check with my teacher for sure.
What was the correct answer?
