Question

If the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as follows:

5ATGCATGCATGC ATGCATGCATGC ATGC-3′

Write down the sequence of complementary strand in 5’—>3’ direction.

Answer 1

5′ – ATGCATGC ATGC ATGC ATGC ATGC ATGC – 3′

complement 3′ – TACG TACG TACG TACG TACG TACG – 5′ complement in 5′ – 3′ direction 5′ – GCAT GCAT GCAT GCAT GCAT GCAT GC AT – 3′.
