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: -Step 1: Starting on the left, read the first letter in the DNA sequence and write down the complementary base. The first base in this sequence is “A", which pairs with “T", so the first letter in our complementary sequence will be “T". Step 2: Continue from left to right until the complementary sequence is complete.
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: -This leads to a total of 10 codons in the mRNA sequence AUGGCAGUGCCA as AUG, UGG, GGC, GCA, CAG, AGU, GUG, UGC, GCC, CCA.
