If the sequence of bases in one strand of DNA is ATGCATGCA, what would be the sequence of bases on compiementary strand ?

A

ATGCATGCA

B

AUGCAUGCA

C

TACGTACGT

D

UACGUACGU

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
(c) Adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine always pairs with guanine. Thus, sequence of bases on complementary strand would be TACGTACGT.
