Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what would be the complementary DNA strand to the following sequence-ATTCGCTTACCCGAGATA
A
TAAGCGAATGGGCTCTAT
B
TAAGCGAATGGGCTCTAT
C
UAAGCGAAUGGGCUCUAU
D
TTAGCGTATGGGCCCATA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because of the complimentary base pairing rule, if the strand sequence is AATGCTAC, the complementary sequence will be TTACGATG.

Detailed explanation-2: -The complementary sequence of DNA is TAATAACGCG.

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: -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’.
