Question

37. Below is the chemical structure of a polynuclotide. Write the nucleotide sequence of polynucleotide which will bind to the structure shown below to form a double OCH P- OCH NH OCH A) GTAC B) GATC C) CTAG D) CATG E) None of the above. NH CH HN HN P-O-CH O-CH O-P-O-CH2 OH H Nucleotide: De OH Deoxy guanylate deoxyguanosine Deoxy thymidylate 5'-monophosphate) Deoxy cytidylate (deoxythymidine Symbols: 5'-monophosphate) deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate) Nucleoside: Air dA, dAMP Deoxy adenosine 5'-monophosphate) G, dG, dGMP T, dT, dTMP C, dC, dCMP Deoxyguanosine Deoxy thymidine Deoxycytidine Deoxyribonucleotides

Explanation / Answer

Nitrogen bases pair only with complementary bases.

Adenine (A) with guanine(G)

Thymine(T) with cytosine(C)

Here the given sequence is GTAC. So the complementary will be CATG
