Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The complementary sequence for GATCAA in 5’-3’ notation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The two stands of DNA are not identical; they are complementary to each other which results from base pairing. The base pairing takes place via hydrogen bonding between the two strands.
DNA sequencing is a process that determines the order of four bases A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), C (cytosine).
(b)
Interpretation:
The complementary sequence for TCGAAC in 5’-3’ notation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The two stands of DNA are not identical; they are complementary to each other which results from base pairing. The base pairing takes place via hydrogen bonding between the two strands.
DNA sequencing is a process that determines the order of four bases A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), C (cytosine).
(c)
Interpretation:
The complementary sequence for ACGCGT in 5’-3’ notation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The two stands of DNA are not identical; they are complementary to each other which results from base pairing. The base pairing takes place via hydrogen bonding between the two strands.
