Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Watson and Crick proposed that the feature of DNA in which each base pairs with its complement (adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine) would provide clues about how DNA is copied. This complementary base pairing suggests a mechanism for DNA replication, where each strand serves as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand.
