Question
DNA is a double helix composed of nucleotides. Suppose that a portion of one of the two strands of a DNA molecule has the sequence GCAGTAG.What is the sequence of the opposite strand?CGTCATCGCAGTAGGATGACGCGUCAUC
Solution
The sequence of the opposite strand of DNA would be CGTCAATC. This is because in DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). So, the complementary sequence to GCAGTAG would be CGTCAATC.
