Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The complimentary strand to ttgcacg would be: AACGTGC.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three of the four nitrogenous bases that make up RNA-adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)-are also found in DNA. In RNA, however, a base called uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) as the complementary nucleotide to adenine.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the complementary strand of DNA, the bases that bind to TAC are complimentary, thus they are ATG.
