In Q3, I could'nt comprehend the solution given in NCERT. could u pls send a simple solution to this question? Thank you

Q3. If the sequence of one strand of DNA is written as follows :

       5' – ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC-3'

     Write down the sequence of complementary strand in 5'  3' direction.
 

The DNA strands are complementary to each other with respect to base sequence. Hence, if the sequence of one strand of DNA is

5'- ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC − 3’

Then, the sequence of complementary strand in direction will be

3'- TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG − 5’

Therefore, the sequence of nucleotides on DNA polypeptide in direction is

5'- GCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCAT− 3’
