Title: Explain how 2 new short segments of DNA double helix will appear
Post by: Puppylover27 on Apr 30, 2015
You are given the following short segment of DNA double helix.

Strand 1 – 5’ A – A – T – T – C – G – C – T – A – G – C – 3’
Strand 2 - 3’ T – T – A – A – G – C – G – A – T – C – G – 5’ (anti-parallel)

Give the compliment for each strand and explain how the new 2 short segments of DNA double helix will appear.

For each strand, switch A --> T, T --> A, C --> G, and G --> C.
