Which of the following DNA sequences qualifies to be designated as a palindrome?
Options
- A5^ -GACCAG-3' in one strand
- B3^ - GACCAG- 5^ in one strand
- C5'-GACGAG-3', 3'-CIGGIC-5'
- D5'-AGCGCT-3', 3'-TCGCGA-5'
Correct answer
D. 5'-AGCGCT-3', 3'-TCGCGA-5'
Step-by-step solution
Palindromic sequence is the sequence of nucleotides whose reading is same when read from both 5^ 3^ and 3^ 5^ direction. It is the mirror image of the sequence in its first half
