The nucleotide sequence of one DNA strand of a DNA double helix is 5-ʹGGATTATTGTGCACTTTCA-3ʹ. What is the sequence of the complementary strand and briefly explain the answer?
1 Answer
Explanation:
We have directionality involved in this
So, the first step is to write:
Now, we need to note the complementary values. Adenine
only to form two hydrogen bonds, while cytosine
So, we just need to change letters in the complementary strands to their "partners", i.e.
Our complementary
