What is the Complement DNA Strand to 5'-ATTCGGTGA-3

Question

What is the complement DNA strand to 5'-ATTCGGTGA-3'?
A)5'-TAAGCCACT-3'
B)3'-CGGATTGTC-5'
C)5'-CGGATTGTC-3'
D)3'-TAAGCCACT-5'
E)3'-ATTCGGTGA-5'

Accepted Answer

The complement DNA strand is formed by replacing each nucleotide with its complement (A with T, T with A, C with G, and G with C) and reversing the direction to maintain the antiparallel structure of DNA. The original strand is 5'-ATTCGGTGA-3', so its complement is 3'-TAAGCCACT-5', which matches option D.
