  What is the complementary strand of the DNA sequence: 5′ ATCGGTGACTATCGT 3′?
  3′ TAGCCACTGATAGCA 5′
  Write the mRNA sequence based on the complementary strand you wrote for Question 1a.
  5’AUCGGUGACUAUCGU 3
  Explanation:
  In complimentary strand, A pairs with T, and C pairs with G
  In converting DNA sequence to RNA, A pairs with U, G pairs with C
  Thus, out complimentary DNA will be:
  5′ – 3′
  A – T
  T – A
  C – G
  G – C
  G – C
  T – A
  G – C
  A – T
  C – G
  T – A
  A – T
  T – A
  C – G
  G – C
  T – A
  3′ – 5′
