e. U

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. T

Explanation:

For a given DNA sequence, the array is represented as:

5'ATCCTGGACACTGTACCATCGGTACCAATCACAGGTCCTTACAGT 3'

And the premier; 5' GGACCTGTGA 3' attaches to the complementary base on the DNA sequence.

i.e.

5'ATCCTGGACACTGTACCATCGGTACCAATCACAGGTCCTTACAGT 3'

*AGTGTCCAGG

Thus, the first nucleotide that will be incorporated into the DNA will be T
