Question:

Which of the following DNA sequences qualifies to be designated as a palindrome?

5'-GACCAG-3' in one strand

3'-GACCAG-5' in one strand

5'-GACCAG-3' 3'-CTGGTC-5'

5'-AGCGCT-3' 3'-TCGCGA-5'

Solution:

When reading the DNA strand from 5' (five-prime) to 3' (three prime) on one strand matches the sequence reading 5' to 3' on the complementary strand with which it forms a double helix is same is called as the pallindromic sequence in DNA strand.Thus, the correct answer is option D.
