9. In the DNA double helix, why are purine bases on one DNA strand never paired with other
purine bases on the opposite strand? There is more than one reason.
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?
