DNA Replication1) Construct the complementary strand of DNA (strand II) that would pair with the DNA strand I sequence below. Remember that nucleotides are always added in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. The base pairing rules are:
DNA DNAadenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) thymine (T) always bonds with adenine (A) guanine (G) always bonds with cytosine (C) cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G)
STRAND I: 3’ T A C T A T A G T C T G T C T C C C A C T 5’
STRAND II: 5’ 3’
If one of the strands of DNA has the following sequence of bases running in the 5′S3′ direction, 5′-G-G-A-C-A-A-T-C-T-G-C-3′ a. what is the sequence of bases in the complementary strand? b. what base is closest to the 5′-end in the complementary strand?
