A technician adds a solution to a short section of DNA and records the observations shown in the table.
| Observation | Before the solution is added | While the solution is present |
|---|---|---|
| Base sequence of strand 1 | ACGTTC | ACGTTC |
| Base sequence of strand 2 | TGCAAG | TGCAAG |
| Arrangement of the strands | joined together | separate |
Explain the observations in the table and predict what will happen to the strands when the solution is removed.
