Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If the sequence of bases on one DNA strand is AGCTCAG (reading from 5’ to 3’), the sequence of bases on the opposite strand would be TCGAGTC (reading from 3’ to 5’). This is because adenine (A) is always associated with thymine (T), and guanine (G) is always associated with cytosine (C).
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The complimentary strand to ttgcacg would be: AACGTGC. We can determine the second strand by knowing how bases bind to each other.
