If a sequencing reaction produces the following sequence of bases, what is the sequence of the complimentary DNA strand…..TAAGTCGATGC
A) ATTGACCTACG
B) TTTCAGCTACG
C) ATTCAGCCATG
D) ATTCAGCTACG
E) ATTCAGCTGGG

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complementary DNA strand will have the same sequence as the original strand, but with each base pair switched to its complementary base pair. A pairs with T, and C pairs with G. So the complementary sequence for TAAGTCGATGC is ATTCAGCTACG. Choice D is the only option that matches this sequence.
