Detailed explanation-1: -During DNA replication, each of the two strands that make up the double helix serves as a template from which new strands are copied. The new strand will be complementary to the parental or “old” strand. Each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand.
Detailed explanation-2: -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’.
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: -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.
