Consider the sequence 3'-ACGCTACGTC-5'.
What is the double-stranded sequence?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given sequence as the 3' to 5' strand: 3'-ACGCTACGTC-5'.
Recall the base-pairing rules in DNA: Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
Write the complementary strand by pairing each base with its complement, ensuring the complementary strand is written in the 5' to 3' direction.
Reverse the complementary sequence to ensure it is properly oriented as 5' to 3'.
Combine the original strand and the complementary strand to represent the double-stranded DNA sequence, with the original strand on top and the complementary strand below.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

DNA Structure

DNA is composed of two strands that form a double helix, with each strand consisting of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The bases pair specifically: adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Understanding this structure is essential for determining complementary sequences.

DNA Structure

Complementary Base Pairing

Complementary base pairing is the principle that dictates how nucleotides pair in DNA. In a double-stranded DNA molecule, A pairs with T and C pairs with G. This pairing is crucial for accurately determining the complementary sequence of a given single-stranded DNA sequence, as it ensures the fidelity of genetic information.

Base Distortions

Directionality of DNA Strands

DNA strands have directionality, indicated by the 5' and 3' ends. The 5' end has a phosphate group, while the 3' end has a hydroxyl group. When determining the complementary sequence, it is important to maintain the correct orientation, as the complementary strand will run in the opposite direction (antiparallel) to the original strand.
