One strand of DNA nucleotides is read as 5' - GCATATTG - 3'. What would be the complementary strand?

The correct answer would be: 3' - CGTATAAC - 5'

Explanation:

DNA molecule is a double-stranded molecule structure that has two distinct nucleotide chains joined together with hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases of each strand. Adenine binds with thymine and cytosine binds with guanine by hydrogen bonds always in complementary strands.

These strands are complementary to one another as they have complementary bases in the complementary strand of one nucleotide chain of DNA. So,

5' - GCATATTG - 3' - DNA nucleotide of one strand

3' - CGTATAAC - 5' complementary strand

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
