Interpretation:
The sequence in the template strand has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Composition of
Base pairing in DNA: The two strands of the DNA double helix run in the opposite directions: one in 5’ to 3’ direction and other from 3’ to 5’ direction (complementary strand). The hydrogen bonding between two strands enhances the stability of the DNA; where the alignment of hydrophobic nitrogenous bases in the interior and hydrophilic phosphate and sugar groups on the exterior, is present that enhance the stability too. Adenine and thymine gives a pair forming two hydrogen bonds and cytosine and guanine gives rise to another pair forming three hydrogen bonds.
Replication of DNA: The process by which copies of DNA are made when a cell divides.
Illustrated relationships are:
DNA informational strand: 5’ ATG CCA GTA GGC CAC TTG TCA 3’
DNA Template strand: 3’ TAC GGT CAT CCG GTG AAC AGT 5’

- If the ratio of (A+G)/(T+C)=0.7 in one strand of the DNA, what is the same ratio in complementary strand? Answer Format: (Number only in two decimal places) *arrow_forwardThe DNA STRAND IS 3’ TAC-AGC-ACT-CAG-TCA 5’ and Non-template strand = 5' - ATG-TCG-TGA-GTC-AGT - 3' . If on the non-coding strand of DNA there is suddenly one T base that sneaks into the 4th sequence (from the left), or causes a mutation, then how will the RNA be formed and the chain arrangement of the amino acids produced by this mutation? 4th sequence (from the left) should be = TCG right?arrow_forwardGiven the sequence shown below, write the complementary DNA sequence, using the base-pairing rules, as well as the directionality of the strands: 5'- CGAGGCTAGGTTAACCTG-3'arrow_forward
- Permutation is the ordered arrangement of m number items out of a list of n items. For instance, the DNA strand with sequence of 3 bases: G-A-C IS different w ith A-G-C, C-A-G, G-C-A, A-C-G, and C-G-A. From this, we have: P-3) 3! 3x2x1 Therefore, there are 6 dıfferent sequences of DNA strands that can be formed out of 3 given bases. In general, we have this formula for permutation: (n-m)! Count the number of ways in which: Guanıne, Adenine, Cytosine, Thymıne, Cytosine, and Guanıne (6 bases) be sequenced in one DNA strand?arrow_forwardGiven the DNA template strand 3' GCATTCAAG 5', write the amino acid sequence in the N‑terminal to C‑terminal direction. Note: Enter the amino acids using their three-letter designations. Put a hyphen between each amino acid.arrow_forwardConsider the following DNA sequence: -T -- -- If RNA primase used this section of DNA to make a primer, what would be the correct sequence of base pairs (from top to bottom)?
