Detailed explanation-1: -ATG TGA CAG Explanation: Adenine(A) pairs with thymine(T) and vice versa while guanine(G) pairs with cytosine(C) and vice versa. The bases are complementary, always appearing opposite to each other on the DNA double helix.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -In the complementary strand of DNA, the bases that bind to TAC are complimentary, thus they are ATG.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
