5'-AGTC-3' is the "top" strand of a DNA double helix. What is the bottom strand? Answer: 3' to 5'.
Added by Laura M.
Step 1
Step 1:** Identify the complementary nucleotides for each nucleotide in the top strand: - A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine) - G (guanine) pairs with C (cytosine) - T (thymine) pairs with A (adenine) - C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine) ** Show more…
