06: Molecular Basis of Inheritance
- #3If the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as follows:
5‘-ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC-3‘
Write down the sequence of complementary strand in 5‘→3‘ direction
Ans : The DNA strands are complementary to each other with respect to base sequence. Hence, if the sequence of one strand of DNA is
5‘- ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC - 3’
Then, the sequence of complementary strand in
direction will be
3‘- TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG - 5’
Therefore, the sequence of nucleotides on DNA polypeptide in
direction is
5‘- GCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCAT- 3’
