If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATCGTATG, the sequence in the complementary strand would be

Options

  1. ATAGCTTAC
  2. BTCACATAC
  3. CTAGCATAC
  4. DTACGATAC

Correct answer

C. TAGCATAC

Step-by-step solution

Because of size and geometries of the bases, the only possible pairings in DNA are between G (guanine) and C (cytosine) through three H-bonds and between A (adenine) and T (thymine) through two H-bonds. Hence,
