If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATCGTATG, the sequence in the complementary strand would be
Options
- ATAGCTTAC
- BTCACATAC
- CTAGCATAC
- 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,
