What type of symmetry is created by inverted repeats in double-stranded DNA? a. line b. three-fold rotational c. inversion center d. two-fold rotational e. mirror plane
Added by Chad B.
Step 1
Inverted repeats are sequences of nucleotides that are followed downstream by their reverse complement. This means that one strand has a sequence that is the same as the other strand but in the opposite orientation. Show more…
