Discussion
When DNA polymerase is in contact with guanine in the parental strand, what does it add to the growing daughter strand?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Cytosine
Base pairing is fixed by hydrogen bonding: G pairs with C through three hydrogen bonds, and A with T through two. So a guanine on the template directs the insertion of a cytosine. Uracil belongs to RNA, not DNA.
