A segment of DNA has the following sequence pTpApCpGpTpGpC-H. Which of the sequences below would represent the complement of this DNA strand? (Note, all sugars are deoxyribose)
A) pApTpGpCpApCpG-H
B) pGpCpTpGpCpApTp-H
C) pGpCpApCpGpTpA-H
D) pTpApCpGpTpGpC-H
E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complementary DNA strand pairs adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G), so the sequence pTpApCpGpTpGpC-H would be complemented by pGpCpApCpGpTpA-H, following the base-pairing rules.
