Question
If one strand of a DNA molecule has the base sequence $5^{\prime}-\mathrm{AGCATTAAGCT}-3^{\prime},$ what is the base sequence of the other, complementary strand?
Step 1
Step 1: First, we need to remember the base pairing rules in DNA: Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G). Show more…
