If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATCGTATG , the sequence in the complementary strand would be

A

TAGCTTAC

B

TCACATAC

C

TAGCATAC

D

TACGATAC

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to size and geometries of bases, the only possible pairing in DNA are between G (guanine) and C (cytosine) through three H-bonds and between A (adenine) and T ( thymine) through two H-bonds.
Thus,the complementary strand of DNA will be
(complementary strand)
