Given below is a sample of portion of DNA strand giving the base sequence on the opposite strands. What is so, special shown in it? 5^ _ GAATTC __ 3^ 3 - CTTAAG 5^
Options
- ADeletion mutation
- BStart codon at the 5^ end
- CPalindromic sequence of base pairs
- DReplication completed
Correct answer
C. Palindromic sequence of base pairs
Step-by-step solution
Palindromic DNA is a base sequence of DNA, which reads the same forward or backward. It has similar sequence in both the strands. Different types of palindromic sequences are recognised by restriction endonucleases.
