Which shows the correct complementary strand of DNA ATG?
|
|
ATG
|
|
|
TAG
|
|
|
TAC
|
|
|
CGC
|
Explanation:
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 complementary sequence of DNA is TAATAACGCG.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the complementary strand of DNA, the bases that bind to TAC are complimentary, thus they are ATG.
Detailed explanation-5: -The sequence of the mentioned DNA strand is 5’-ATCAGC-3’. So, the sequence of the complementary strand will be 3’-TAGTCG-5’.
