Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What will be the complementary DNA sequence resulting from the following:GAT-TAC-AGA-TTA-CAT?
A
CTA-ATG-TCT-AAT-GTA
B
GAU-UAG-UGA-UUA-GUT
C
CUA-AUG-UCU-AAU-GUA
D
CAT-ACA-TAC-ATA-TAG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In the complementary strand of DNA, the bases that bind to TAC are complimentary, thus they are ATG.

Detailed explanation-3: -The complementary mRNA sequence for the DNA sequence GAACCGT is CUUGGCA. The DNA of a gene serves as a template for the formation of the mRNA that is transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm where it is then translated into a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Step 1: Starting on the left, read the first letter in the DNA sequence and write down the complementary base. The first base in this sequence is “A", which pairs with “T", so the first letter in our complementary sequence will be “T". Step 2: Continue from left to right until the complementary sequence is complete.
