“Explain how the sequence of nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule allows it to carry genetic information. Describe how the complementary base pairing (A with T, and C with G) in the double helix structure of DNA contributes to the accurate transmission of genetic information. If a segment of one strand of DNA has the sequence 5'-GATTACA-3', what is the sequence of the complementary strand, and how does this complementarity ensure the accurate copying of genetic information?”
