$5^{\prime}-CGATGCAT-3^{\prime}$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The two strands of $DNA$ are antiparallel and complementary to each other.Given strand: $5^{\prime}-ATGCATCG-3^{\prime}$.The complementary strand will run in the $3^{\prime} \rightarrow 5^{\prime}$ direction as $3^{\prime}-TACGTAGC-5^{\prime}$.To write this in the $5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}$ direction,we reverse the sequence: $5^{\prime}-CGATGCAT-3^{\prime}$.Therefore,the correct sequence is $5^{\prime}-CGATGCAT-3^{\prime}$.

If the sequence of one strand of $DNA$ is $5^{\prime}-ATGCATCG-3^{\prime}$,find the sequence of the complementary strand in the $5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}$ direction.
