Topics: Posts:	Dec 14, 2003 - 8:34 PM       #5 Correct answer is E. "Lettered" ends are SINGLE-STRANDED, and complementary. Circular DNA can be formed. When i posted this guestion, i'm sure i've represented it in a correct way - as single strands. But it appeared as dowble and confused you. Sorry, probably it was my fault.
