|
|
3’ ACU 5’.
|
|
|
3’ UGA 5’
|
|
|
3’ UCA 5’.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The codon in mRNA that corresponds to the sequence 5’-AGT-3’ in the DNA template is 3’-UCA-5’ which also can be written as 5’-ACU-3’.
Detailed explanation-2: -A particular triplet of bases in the template strand of DNA is 5′-AGT-3′.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is always synthesized in the 5’-to-3’ direction, meaning that nucleotides are added only to the 3’ end of the growing strand. As shown in Figure 2, the 5’-phosphate group of the new nucleotide binds to the 3’-OH group of the last nucleotide of the growing strand.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the sequence of the complimentary strand in 5’ to 3’ direction is 5’-GCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCAT− 3’. Was this answer helpful?
