Let's break down the problem by identifying base-pairing rules and applying them to the given sequence.
First, note the given strand is 3' A G C A T C 5'. In DNA, A pairs with T and G pairs with C. The complementary strand should be written 5' to 3' so we arrange the partner bases in the order that pairs with the template.
Now evaluate each option:
- Option 1: 5' C T A C A G 3'. Here, the sequence begins with C pairing to G on the template, which is inconsistent with the required A paired with T and G paired with C rule. The overall order does not align with the complementary logic for the entire strand.
- Option 2: 5' G A U G C T 3'. This option contains a U (uracil), which only appears in RNA. Since the question concerns DNA strands, including U makes this option incorrect on the basis of molecular type.
- Option 3: 5' U C G U A G 3'. This also uses U, making it an RNA-type sequence, not DNA. Additionally, the arrangement does not correspond to the correct DNA complement for the given template.
- Option 4: 5' T C G T A G 3'. This matches the expected complementary bases in order: A pairs with T, G with C, C with G, A with T, T with A, C with G, yielding exactly 5' T C G T A G 3'. This aligns with the 3' to 5' template when read in the 5' to 3' direction of the new strand.
- Option 5: 5' G A C A T C 3'. This is simply the reverse of part of the original sequence and does not reflect the proper complementary pairing to form a stable DNA duplex with the given template. It also leaves mismatches for several bases.
In summary, the only option that correctly applies A↔T and G↔C pairings while presenting the strand in the correct 5'→3' orientation is Option 4. The other choices either introduce RNA bases, misorder the pairings, or fail to correspond to the complementary relationship dictated by the template strand.
