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

    A) \[5GACGAG-3\,3-CTGGTC-5\]

    B)  \[5-AGCGCT-3\,3-TCGCGA-5\]

    C)  \[3-GACCAG-5\]in one strand

    D)  \[5-GACCAG-3\]in one strand

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Palindrome is a section of double stranded DNA in which the sequence of bases on one DNA strand is inverted and repeated with that on other strand. Thus, the following sequence is palindromic \[5-AGCGCT-3\] \[3-TCGCGA-5\] Palindromic sequences are common in DNA and are the sites at which the DNA is cleaved by restriction enzymes.
