Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which sequence of DNA bases would be the opposite side of this:ATG TGA CAG
A
ATG TGA CAG
B
TAC ACT GTC
C
GTA AGT GAC
D
CAT TCA CTG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Base Pair Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) [GWA-NeeN] or thymine (T). The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : (c) Adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine. Thus, sequence of bases on complementary strand would be TACGTACGT.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: If a DNA strand has the sequence 5’-ATG-3’, the complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence made using this DNA template would have the sequence 3’-UAC-5’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The complementary base pairs that are present in DNA are A-T and G-C. The nitrogenous bases are linked through hydrogen bonds. Two hydrogen bonds exist between adenine and thymine, and three hydrogen bonds exist between guanine and cytosine.
