Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
give the complementary strand for the following sequence of bases GTACCTGA
A
TACCTGAC
B
CATGGACT
C
ATACTGGA
D
GATCATCA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acid base sequences that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs; the complementary sequence to G-T-A-C is C-A-T-G.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the complementary sequence, Adenine (A) is always paired with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) is always paired with Guanine (G).

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : (c) Adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine. Thus, sequence of bases on complementary strand would be TACGTACGT. Step by step video & image solution for If the sequence of bases in one strand of DNA is ATGCATGCA, what would be the sequence of bases on compiementary strand ?

Detailed explanation-4: -The sequence of the mentioned DNA strand is 5’-ATCAGC-3’. So, the sequence of the complementary strand will be 3’-TAGTCG-5’.
