Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG. The complementary base pairing in DNA is as per the Chargaff’s rules. According to these rules, purines always hydrogen bond with pyrimidines and vice-versa.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenine forms bonds with Thymine (A-T) in DNA and with Uracil(A-U) in RNA. Cytosine forms with Guanine (C-G). Therefore, the sequence of the base pairs in the complementary strand of DNA is TACTGACAG.
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 complementary sequence of DNA is TAATAACGCG.
