Question
Collect 5 examples of palindromic DNA sequences. Better try to create a palindromic sequence by following base-pair rules.
Solution
Palindrome nucleotide sequences in the DNA molecule are groups of bases that form the same sequence when reading both forward and backward. Five examples of palindromic DNA sequences are as follows:
