Q. 17.106

Write the complementary base sequence for each of the following DNA segments:

a. $T T A C G G A C C G C$
b. $A T A G C C C T T A C T G G$
c. $G G C C T A C C T T A A C G A C G$

Verified

Answer

Part(a) The complementary base sequence are $A A T G C C T G G C G$

Part(b) The complementary base sequence are $T A T C G G G A A T G A C C$

Part(c) The complementary base sequence are $C C G G A T G G A A T T G C T G C$

1Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find the complementary base sequence for $T T A C G G A C C G C$

2Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

The complementary bases are $G = C, A = T$

Therefore the complementary base sequence for DNA segments is $A A T G C C T G G C G$

3Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find the complementary base sequence for $A T A G C C C T T A C T G G$

4Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

The complementary bases are $G = C, A = T$

Therefore the complementary base sequence for DNA segments is $T A T C G G G A A T G A C C$

5Part(c) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find the complementary base sequence for $G G C C T A C C T T A A C G A C G$

6Part(c) Step 2 : Simplify

The complementary bases are $G = C, A = T$

Therefore the complementary base sequence for DNA segments is $C C G G A T G G A A T T G C T G C$
