If one strand of DNA has a sequence of 5AATGCGCGTAGT3 what i

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?

Solution

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’
