Consider the sequence 3'-cgtacgctagcta-5'. if this sequence is the template strand during dna replication, what will be the sequence of the daughter strand?

Answer;

5'-GCATGCGATCGAT-3'

If the sequence 3'-cgtacgctagcta-5' is used as a template strand during DNA replication, the sequence; 5'-GCATGCGATCGAT-3' will be the sequence of the daughter strand.

Explanation;

-Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell.

-Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.

-Base pairing ensures that the sequence of nucleotides in the existing template strand is exactly matched to a complementary sequence in the new strand, also known as the anti-sequence of the template strand. During base pairing A pairs with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with. the pyrimidine thymine (T), C pairs with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with. the purine guanine (G)
