Question

Which of the following is the correct matching nucleotide sequence for CTAGG?

CTAGG
GATCC
GGATC
AGCTT

Answer 1

The correct matching sequence would be GATCC

Answer 2

GATCC

Step-by-step explanation:

The complementary bases pair up with each other. A pairs with T and C pairs with G, where A, T, C and G stand for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine.

Given nucleotide sequence: CTAGG

Complementary nucleotide sequence: GATCC

DNA has bases adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine whereas in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil.
