The following DNA strand contains incorrect base pairs.
DNA is composed of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. The sequence of these bases is essential for proper functioning of DNA. Any incorrect base pair can lead to errors during DNA replication and potentially result in genetic mutations.
Base pairs are pairs of nitrogenous bases that make up the "rungs" of the DNA ladder. Adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.
Yes, incorrect DNA sequences can be fixed through a process called DNA repair. This process involves enzymes that can recognize and remove incorrect base pairs and replace them with the correct ones.
The consequences of having incorrect DNA sequences can vary. In some cases, it may lead to no noticeable effects. However, in other cases, it can cause genetic disorders or diseases. Incorrect DNA sequences can also affect the functioning of cells and potentially lead to health problems.
