How does the sequence of bases on one strand of DNA control the sequence of bases on the complementary strand? There is only a single strand in a DNA molecule.

The sequences of bases on both strands are always identical.

Adenine on one strand can pair only with thymine on the other strand; cytosine, only with guanine.

The sequences of bases on both strands are not related.

Adenine on one strand can pair only with thymine on the other strand; cytosine, only with guanine.

Explanation:

DNA nucleotides can contain one of four nitrogenous bases. These bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The two strands are held together through hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine (A) forms bonds with thymine (T) while cytosine (C) forms bonds with guanine (G); A only ever pairs with T, and C only ever pairs with G.

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

it cools slower in the earth meaning the crystals have more time to form than lava on the surface
