If one strand of DNA has a nucleotide sequence 3' ATTCGCTAT 5', the nucleotide sequence of other DNA strand will be
Options
- A3’ TAAGCGATA 5’
- B5’ TAGCACGTA 5’
- C5’ TAGCACGTA 3’
- D5’ TAAGCGATA 3’
Correct answer
D. 5’ TAAGCGATA 3’
Step-by-step solution
In a double-stranded DNA, the sequence of nucleotides is complementary to each other, i.e., A pairs with T and G pairs with C. Hence, the sequence of nucleotide for 3' ATTCGCTAT 5' will be 5' TAAGCGATA 3'.
