Answer:

5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ

Explanation:

In a double-stranded DNA, two strands are held together with the help of hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases and the two strands are anti-parallel, means one strands runs in 5' to 3' direction, while another strand runs in 3' to 5' direction.

According to complementary base pairing rule, adenine makes bonds with thymine and thymine makes bond with adenine; similarly, guanine makes bonds with cytosine and cytosine makes bonds with guanine.  

Thus, the complementary base pairing rule, complementary sequence for given DNA sequence would be:

5ʹ-TCGATCCGGAAT-3ʹ

3ʹ-AGCTAGGCCTTA-5ʹ, which can be also written as

5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ.

Thus, the correct answer is 'second option.'

Answer:

3ʹ-TAACCGGTACGT-5ʹ

Explanation:

DNA is a molecule located in the cell nucleus and formed by two strands in the form of a double helix. It is responsible for storing all genetic information that defines the characteristics of each living organism.

The two complementary strands that make up this molecule are composed of a sequence of nucleotides, which are molecules composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (pentose) and a nitrogenous base that can be: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

Nitrogenous bases are always organized in pairs: Adenine with Thymine (A-T) and Cytosine with Guanine (C-G). Therefore, we can conclude that if one of the DNA strands has the 5ʹ-ATTCCGGATCGA-3ʹ base sequence, the complementary strand will have the 3ʹ-TAACCGGTACGT-5ʹ base sequence.

artcher [175]
<h2>(Answer 1 points 3)</h2>

The eastern lowland gorilla is one of the largest primates out of the thirteen. This largest primate is the massive animal on the Earth. This Primate in the World Is about to be extinct. It has now been critically endangered or we can say that these are just a step away from extinction. This primate is about 6.6 feet and weighs up to 550 pounds in the wild. The species has been subdivided into two subspecies.

<h2>(Answer 2 points 3)</h2>

Berthe's mouse lemur (Microcebus berthae)  is the smallest primate of all the thirteen primates. Earlier, It was claimed that Philippines tarsiers are the smallest primate but it was proved wrong. There are only between 5,000 and 10,000 Philippine Tarsiers left in the entire world known after the survey and the estimation of these primates. The number of this species is going to get very low and be falling.

<h2>(Answer 3 points 3)</h2>

There are approximately 260 known living species of primates that are consists of the tails. Some of the species of tail having primates have the tails that are very small in size. Only Apes is the species of the primates that do not contain even a small tail. There are two monkey groups, the old-word, and new-world monkeys, and apes are more closely related to the old-world monkeys.

<h2>(Answer 4 points 3)</h2>

The colossal squid is a primate that has the largest eye of all animals in the whole world. The measurement of the eye was recorded in 1007 and it was concluded that it was even larger when the squid was alive. It has been measured that its eye is at about 11 inches (28 centimeters) across bigger than a dinner plate, making it the largest animal eye on Earth.
