Question

If the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as follows:

5’- ATG CATG CATG CATG CATG CATGC - 3’

Write down the sequence of the complementary strand in 5’ → 3’ direction.

Answer 1

The sequence of the complementary strand in 5’ → 3’ direction would be:

3’ - TAC GTAC GTAC GTAC GTAC GTAC GTACG - 5’

In 5’ → 3’ it will be as follows:

5’ - GC ATGC ATGC ATGC ATGC ATGC ATGCAT - 3’
