The nucleotides are very specific as to which bond together. The four nucleotides are:Adenine (A) Thymine (T)Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)They are written out in this order because Adenine always bonds with Thymine and Cytosine alwaysbonds with Guanine.

The nucleotides are very specific as to which bond together. The four nucleotides are:
Adenine (A) Thymine (T)
Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)
They are written out in this order because Adenine always bonds with Thymine and Cytosine always
bonds with Guanine. Draw a line connecting those so you remember.
Let’s practice making complementary strands.

DNA: T-A-C-T-T-A-C-A-C-G-T-C-A-A-C-G-T-G-C-C-T-T-A-G-C-C-A-T-T
DNA: A-T-G
Go ahead and write out the complementary strand to the strand above continuing where we left off.
