It's called cDNA or complimentary DNA to indicate that it's a copy, a complimentary copy of the messenger RNA.

它叫cDNA或者互补DNA,意味着它是一个拷贝,一个信使RNA反转录得出的DNA拷贝

It's the transcribed version of DNA, and it's the exact complement of a particular region of DNA.

它是DNA的转录版本,与特定的DNA序列严格互补

The DNA molecule here has been spread apart, opening up two single stranded DNA's which have complementary base sequences because they were double stranded DNA.

这里DNA分子被分开,形成两条单链DNA,这两条单链碱基序列互补,因为它们是由双链DNA解旋形成的

It exists in a double stranded form where every strand is matched by its complement.

这种碱基配对存在于DNA双链中,每条单链都与其互补链,通过这个原则配对组合

That only strands that have this exact complement can form double stranded DNA.

这表示只有两条链的碱基对,完全互补才能形成DNA双链

It has to do with the nature of this complementary binding between double stranded DNA and the fidelity of this base pair matching in forming stable DNA molecules.

这些特性能从根本上解释,为何DNA双链的碱基能互补配对,以及在形成稳定的DNA分子结构时,碱基互补配对为何具有一致性

We call it the complement and each strand of DNA, each polymer of DNA that you could make or you could draw has only one complement and that complement has the following features.

我们称之为互补链,每个DNA聚合物,都只有一种互补链,互补链有以下特点

Well, what if you knew the sequence for the messenger RNA that made insulin and you designed another single stranded DNA or RNA molecule that was the exact opposite, or the exact compliment, I should say, of that strand?

那么,如果你知道了,合成胰岛素的mRNA的序列,并设计一段与其序列完全相反的,DNA或者RNA分子,应该说是完全互补的一段分子

Now DNA is a double helix and I've only shown you one part of the helix, right? I've shown you one upright strut and a base hanging off of it, but it forms a double helix because complementary strands of DNA strongly associate with one another and that's a very stable structure.

NA是双螺旋,我只是给你们讲了螺旋的一边,我给你们演示,一条链的支柱及碱基团,但其能构成双螺旋,是因为DNA是完全互补的两条链,彼此之间结合紧密,结构异常稳定
