Identify the correct sequence of a newly synthesized strand of DNA based on the following template sequence: 3′ T A G C A T C A G 5′

Identify the correct sequence of a newly synthesized strand of DNA based on the following template sequence: 3′ T A G C A T C A G 5′
5′ A T C G T A C T C 3′
5′ A U C G U A C U C 3′
5′ A T C G T A G T C 3′
5′ T A G C A T G A G 3′
5′ U A G C A U G A G 3′

Answer

• 5′ A T C G T A G T C 3′
  Explanation:
  3′ T A G C A T C A G 5′
  Adenine pairs with Thymine
  Guanine pairs with Cytosine
  The formation of DNA complimentary strand proceeds from 5′-3′ on the template strand
  3′ T A G C A T C A G 5′ – Template strand
  5′ A T C G T A G T C 3′ – DNA daughter strand
