Nucleic Acids and the Genetic Material Problem Set 1

Problem 8: Complementary bases

Correct!

For the DNA strand 5'-TACGATCATAT-3' the correct complementary DNA strand is:
A 3'-TACGATCATAT-5'

B 3'-ATGCTAGTATA-5'

For the sequence 5'-TACGATCATAT-3', the correct complementary sequence of DNA must be: 3'ATGCTAGTATA-5'. This sequence has both the right bases and polarity.

C 3'-AUGCUAGUAUA-5'

D 3'-GCATATACGCG-5'

E 3'-TATACTAGCAT-5'
