Solution
The correct option is E5′−TACGACTTGA−3′ DNA replication follows complimentary base pairing wherein A is paired with T and G with C. Replication of template DNA strand with sequence 3' ATGCTGAACT-5' would produce the complimentary strand with sequence 5’-TACGACTTGA-3’. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
