Which of the following is a palindromic sequence?

  • 5' - CGTATG - 3'

    3' - GCATAC - 5'

  • 5' - CGAATG - 3'

    3' - CGAATG - 5'

  • 5' - GAATTC - 3'

    3' - CTTAAG - 5'

  • 5' - GACTAC - 3'

    3' - TACGAC - 5'

Solution

C.

5' - GAATTC - 3'

3' - CTTAAG - 5'

palindromic sequence is a sequence made up of nucleic acids within double helix of DNA and/ or RNA that is same when read from 5' to 3' on one strand and 5' to 3' on the other. Eg,
