d)The hamming distance between a string of nucleotides and its complement is always equal to the length of the string:
Added by Mary M.
Step 1
Step 1: Define the Hamming distance H(x,y) between two strings x and y of equal length n as the number of positions i (1 ≤ i ≤ n) for which x_i ≠ y_i. Show more…

Which of the following relations or ratios would be true for a double stranded DNA molecule? a. $A+T=G+C$ $\mathbf{b .} A+T=T+C$ c. $A+C=G+T$ d. $A+T C+G=1.0$ $\mathbf{e} . \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{GC}+\mathrm{T}=1.0$ $\mathbf{f} . \mathrm{AC}=\mathrm{GT}$ $\mathbf{g} . \mathrm{AG}=\mathrm{CT}$ h. $A T=G C$
10.3 The two strands of duplex DNA are complementary in sequence and arranged in antiparallel fashion. What is the base sequence of the complementary strand to the following polynucleotide: 5'-ATGCTCGACTTACAT-3' 5'-ATGTAAGTCGAGCAT-3' 5'-TACATTCAGCTCGTA-3' 3'-ATGCTCGACTTACAT-5' 5'-ATGCTCGACTTACAT-3' 5'-TACGAGCTGAATGTA-3' 10.4 Choose the false statement. The B form of DNA has 10 base pairs per turn of the helix. The melting temperature of double-stranded DNA increases as the G+C content increases. In double-stranded DNA, complementary bases are oriented toward each other on the inside of the helix. The Z form of DNA coils in a counterclockwise direction. The A form of DNA is more thin and elongated when compared to B DNA.
