If one strand of DNA has a sequence of 5\'-AATGCGCGTAGT-3% what is the complemen

Question

If one strand of DNA has a sequence of 5'-AATGCGCGTAGT-3% what is the complementary strand sequence in a 5' to 3' direction (with 5' on the left, and 3' on the right)? 5 '-ACTACGCGC ATT-3 ' When DNA is replicated, both strands are simultaneously replicated. Interestingly, the DNA polymerase that replicates the DNA will only polymerize DNA in a 5' to 3' direction. If one of the strands that is being replicated has the sequence 3'-CATGGTCCTCTGAG-5', what is the sequence of the complementary strand that is produced by the polymerase? If one of the strands that is being replicated has the sequence 5'-CTGGTCAGTCGATGCTGC-3', what is the sequence of the complementary strand that is produced by the polymerase?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

DNA sequence= 5’- AATGCGCGTAGT-3’

Complementary sequence: 5’-ACTACGCGCATT-3’

(b) New Strand one: 3’CATGGTCCTCTGAG-5’

Other strand:             5’GTACCAGGAGACTC-3’

(C)Strand one: 5’CTGGTCAGTCGATGCTGC-3’

Other strand: 3’GACCAGTCAGCTACGACG-5’
