Ill NUCLEOTIDES AND NUCLEIC ACIDS 7 4 pts complementary anal

Ill. NUCLEOTIDES AND NUCLEIC ACIDS 7. (4 pts) complementary analysis a) Write the complementary s to the following DNA sequence. 5\'-ATGAACGCACC-3\' b) Indicate which END of the above sequence would be easier to break apart (such as for transcription, or replication). Explain your reasoning

Solution

Answer:

a).

5\'-ATGAACGCACC-3\'

3\'-TACTTGCGTGG-5\'

b).

Adenine and Thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds whereas Guanine and Cytosine are with three hydrogen bonds. So to break at 5\'-A & 3\'-T of two strand is easy. It means the left end of the above two strand of the DNA
