Question 24.1: Predicting the Complementary Base Sequence in Double-Strande...

Predicting the Complementary Base Sequence in Double-Stranded DNA
What sequence of bases on one strand of DNA is complementary to the sequence TATGCAT on another strand?

Strategy
Remember that A and G form complementary pairs with T and C, respectively, and then go through the sequence replacing A by T, G by C, T by A, and C by G. Remember also that the 5′ end is on the left and the 3′ end is on the right in the original strand.
