***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Complementary Base Pairing⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹During DNA replication, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The complementary strand to the template $3^{\prime}$ AACTGAACTTT $5^{\prime}$ is $5^{\prime}$ TTGACTTGAAA $3^{\prime}$.⚹◊What is the process by which DNA is replicated in cells?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
