The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given nucleotide sequences is palindromic, we need to analyze each option. A palindromic nucleotide sequence is one that reads the same in both directions (5' to 3' and 3' to 5'). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Sequences**: The sequences provided are: - (i) "GAATTC" - (ii) "AGGCCT" - (iii) "CAGTCG" 2. **Check Each Sequence for Palindrome**: - **For (i) "GAATTC"**: - Read from 5' to 3': GAATTC - Read from 3' to 5': CTTAAG - Since GAATTC and CTTAAG are complementary and reverse of each other, "GAATTC" is a palindromic sequence. - **For (ii) "AGGCCT"**: - Read from 5' to 3': AGGCCT - Read from 3' to 5': TCCGGA - Since AGGCCT and TCCGGA are complementary and reverse of each other, "AGGCCT" is also a palindromic sequence. - **For (iii) "CAGTCG"**: - Read from 5' to 3': CAGTCG - Read from 3' to 5': CGTACT - Since CAGTCG and CGTACT are not the same, "CAGTCG" is not a palindromic sequence. 3. **Conclusion**: The palindromic nucleotide sequences among the options are: - (i) "GAATTC" - (ii) "AGGCCT" ### Final Answer: The palindromic nucleotide sequences are (i) "GAATTC" and (ii) "AGGCCT". ---
