Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D) 5′ TCCAGTCCA 3′.
More Information
In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The strands are also antiparallel, meaning their directions are opposite.
Tips
Avoid confusing RNA with DNA; in DNA, A pairs with T, not U.
