what is the complementary sequence of nucleotides on the adjacent DNA strand for the DNA sequence 5' dATGGTCTAG 3'

Question

I don't understand this question. We are working with DNA and RNA right now in class.

Answer 1

Hi Jordan,

 

In DNA, A pairs with T and vice-versa while G and C pair with each other in the similar way but have three bonds instead of two.

 

The opposite DNA strand would be 3' to 5'

 

5' dATGGTCTAG 3'

3' dTACCAGATC 5'

 

Hope this helps.
