Solve this:
Q.77. If one strand of DNA has the sequence ATGGTATG the sequence in the complementary strand would be
(a) TAGCTTAC
(b) TCACATAC
(c) TACCATAC
(d) TACGATAC

Dear student,

The correct option is (c) - 
The sequence of complementary DNA will be - 3'TACCATAC5'.
Since both the strands in a DNA molecule are antiparallel and purine in one strand is attached with a pyrimidine of its complementary strand.

Regards.

Since, A corresponds to T and vice versa, and G corrosponds to C and vice versa; the answer will be TACCATAC ie option (c).
