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’
