Detailed explanation-1: -How is DNA replicated? Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Based on complementary base pairing rules, T pairs with A, whereas C pairs with G. Hence, the complementary sequence for 3’ ATGGCT 5’ starting from the 5’ end is 5’ TACCGA 3’.
Detailed explanation-3: -To determine the sequence of the complimentary strand, we must look at each base in the template DNA strand and match it with its complimentary base. The strand that is complimentary to ATGCCGTATAGG is TACGGCATATCC.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATG TGA CAG Explanation: Adenine(A) pairs with thymine(T) and vice versa while guanine(G) pairs with cytosine(C) and vice versa. The bases are complementary, always appearing opposite to each other on the DNA double helix.
