Replication creates a complementary strand of DNA. Given the following parental strand of DNA, what would be the nucleotide sequence of the daughter strand? AACTGGCATCGACTAGGG

Here in this question no direction is given for the sequence but DNA replication always occurs in 5'-3' direction so we will rewrite the sequence as:

5'AACTGGCATCGACTAGGG3'

But parental strand acts as a template for the synthesis of daughter strand hence it will be read in 3'-5'direction

3'GGGATCAGCTACGGTCAA5'

The daughter strand will be complementary to the parental strand and always synthesized in 5'-3' direction

5'CCCTAGTCGATGCCAGTT3'

Note:If no direction is given for the nucleotide sequence then we take 5'-3' as the direction because DNA is synthesized in this direction
