Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: For the sequence 5’-GATTACA-3’, the complementary DNA strand would be 3’-CTAATGT-5’. Often, DNA strands are written in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so the complementary strand would be 5’-TGTAATC-3’ when written 5’ to 3’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is C The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reverse complement of a DNA sequence is formed by reversing the letters, interchanging A and T and interchanging C and G. Thus the reverse complement of ACCTGAG is CTCAGGT. What is a genome?
Detailed explanation-4: -The base pairing in DNA is complementary; the base adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T), and the base guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C). Therefore, the complementary strand to GCTTATAT would be CGAATATA.
