Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In the complementary strand of DNA, the bases that bind to TAC are complimentary, thus they are ATG.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complementary sequence: Nucleic acid sequence of bases that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs. For example, the complementary sequence to C-A-T-G (where each letter stands for one of the bases in DNA) is G-T-A-C.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : (c) Adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine. Thus, sequence of bases on complementary strand would be TACGTACGT.
