The Complementary DNA base sequence for
Concept Introduction:
In Watson - Crick Model of DNA, the DNA molecule consists of a Complementary double helix. The two DNA strands are anti-parallel to each other and are in right handed helix. The DNA molecule consists of bases purines and pyrimidines. The purines are Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) whereas pyrimidines are Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). On the complementary DNA strands, the bases are linked together as A-T and G-C. The base strand of DNA is read from
