Question
Biology Question on Structure of DNA and RNA
Given below is the DNA coding sequence. Its complementary strand would read as:
5’ – GTATTACG – 3’
A
5’ – CUTUUTGC – 3’
B
3’ – CATAATGC – 5’
C
3’ – CUTUUTGC – 5’
D
5’ – CTUTTUGC – 3’
Answer
3’ – CATAATGC – 5’
Explanation
Solution
The complementary strand of DNA is formed by pairing A with T and G with C. Thus, the sequence 5’ – GTATTACG – 3’ pairs with 3’ – CATAATGC – 5’.
