Question

If the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as follows: 5"-ATGCATGCATG-CATUCATOCATGCATGC-3' Write down the sequence of complementary strand in 5'-3' direction.

Answer 1

sequence is written wrong... DNA not have U In its strand and O Which is completely wrong..... your question is wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

With regards to base sequence, DNA strands are complementary to each other. Therefore, if the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as:

5′ -ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC-3′

The sequence of the complementary strand in 3′ -> 5′ is as follows:

3′ – TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG – 5′

Subsequently, sequence of complementary strand in 5’→3′ direction is written as:

5′ – GCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCAT – 3′
