Quick self-quiz
Tap each word to check what it stands for.
When to use it
Use it when completing a complementary DNA strand to pair each base with its correct partner.
Example
For the strand 5'-ATCG-3', the complementary strand is 3'-TAGC-5', using Apple Tree (A pairs T) and Car Garage (C pairs G) for each base.
Common mistake
Applying RNA pairing rules to DNA. In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine; in RNA, adenine pairs with uracil instead.
