Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :-

  • Because of the nature of complementary base pairing, if we know the sequence of one strand of DNA, we can predict the sequence of the strand that will pair with or complement it.
  • When we writing complementary DNA sequences, we need to write the sequence in the 5'-3' direction.
  • This usally involves reversing the sequence after writing it complementary to the one you are given
