Given below is the DNA coding sequence. Its complementary strand would read as: 5'-GTATTACG-3' |
5'-CUTUUTGC-3′ 3'-CATAATGC-5' 3'-CUTUUTGC-5' 5'-CTUTTUGC-3′ |
3'-CATAATGC-5' |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3'-CATAATGC-5' The complementary strand of a DNA sequence is formed by pairing the nitrogenous bases according to base-pairing rules:
Now, for the given DNA coding sequence 5'-GTATTACG-3', its complementary strand:
Thus, the complementary strand reads as: 3'-CATAATGC-5' |
