Introduction:
DNA is made up of sugar-phosphate backbone, including nitrogenous bases. The two chains are parallel to each other but oriented in opposite directions. The nitrogenous bases are paired with hydrogen bonds.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
In the complementary strand of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), adenine (A) binds with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) binds with guanine (G). Hence, the correct answer is option a.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option a. is given as “TAACAGG.”
The given sequence is ATTGTCC. A pairs T and G pairs with C; thus, TAACAGG should be the sequence of the complementary strand.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option b. is given as, “ACCTCGG.”
The sequence is incorrect except the A which is present in the first place. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “CGGAGTT.”
The given sequence CGGAGTT is incorrect as T is present C, A is with G, G is with T, and so on. This sequence is violating the Chargaff rule. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “CCTGTTA.”
In this particular option, the sequence given is wrong as A binds with C, T is with C, T is with T, and so on. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
T should be paired with A and G should be paired with C. Hence, according to this rule correct sequence should be TAACAGG. Thus, the correct answer is option a.

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
