If a portion of strand of DNA bases reads 5’ AGCTAGCGT 3’, what would the sequence of bases on the complementary strand read?
A. 5’ UCGAUCGCA 3’
B. 3’ TCGATCGCA 5’
C. 5’ TCGUTCGCU 3’
D. 3’ AGCTAGCGT 5’
The complimentary base pairing of DNA states that A pairs with T while C pairs with G. From the give sequence, the complimentary DNA strand will be 3’ TCGATCGCA 5’
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
