DNA Replication
1) 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                                                         DNA
adenine (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’
