Which of these is the correct complementary DNA strand for the segment shown: 3' AGGTCAGGT 5'? A 5' AGGTCAGGT 3' B 5' ACCUGAGGU 3' C 5' TGGACTGGA 3' D 5' TCCAGTCC 3'
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the complementary DNA strand corresponding to a given DNA segment. It requires knowledge of DNA base pairing rules to identify the correct complement.
Answer
5' TCCAGTCCA 3'
The final answer is D: 5' TCCAGTCCA 3'.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D: 5' TCCAGTCCA 3'.
More Information
The complementary DNA strand is formed by pairing A with T and G with C. This forms the double helix structure crucial for DNA replication.
Tips
A common mistake is mixing up base pairs or not reversing the direction from 3' to 5'.
