Assume that DNA Polymerase will read the parental strand of DNA given below and write the DNA sequence in the space below. Use the modeling kit to build the DNA sequence. Show your sequence to your instructor and obtain their initials.

- TATGCTTCCGTA –

Answer:

– ATACGAAGGCAT –

Explanation:

The DNA Polymerase protein will match the nucleosides as follows

Thymine - Adenine

Cytosine - Guanine

So the replication of the original strand will result in

– ATACGAAGGCAT –

In order to build a desired DNA sequence which doesn't have a preexisting DNA sequence, we have to use the solid-phase DNA synthesis. To make the synthesis of the strand needed, the oligonucleotides has to be sequentially attached on the final end of the chains in order to have a sequence.
