Question

What would be the result of a substitution of TA for the GC at position 10?

Below is the transcription of a DNA sequence segment:

### DNA Sequence

#### Top Strand (5' to 3')
```
5’ -GGGGA GAA CGA G AC A AT C TG C TC G- 3’
```

#### Bottom Strand (3' to 5')
```
3’ -CCCCT CTT GCT C TG T TA G AC G AG C- 5’
```

### Explanation

This image shows a portion of a double-stranded DNA molecule. The numbers above the sequence (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24) may represent nucleotide positions or spacing for easy reference.

- **5’ to 3’ Direction:** DNA strands have directionality. The top strand is shown from the 5’ (five prime) end to the 3’ (three prime) end.
  
- **Complementary Base Pairing:** In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). This example shows complementary bases directly opposite each other. For instance, G on the top strand pairs with C on the bottom strand.

This transcription is part of a sequence used in genetic studies, demonstrating how genetic information is structured at a molecular level.
