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: -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: -Complementary sequence: Nucleic acid sequence of bases that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs. For example, the complementary sequence to C-A-T-G (where each letter stands for one of the bases in DNA) is G-T-A-C.
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.
