If one strand of a DNA has the sequence - ATCGTCCA - what is the sequence of the complementary strand ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In a DNA molecule, adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) always with cytosine (C ).
Base sequence in one strand of DNA : -ATCGTCCA-
Base sequence in the complementary strand : -TAGCAGGT-
Therefore, the sequence of bases on the complementary strand is -TAGCAGGT-
