Question

interspersed repeats, tandem repeats, same sequence in reverse order, or not enough info to decide?

Answer 1

If one strand of a segment of double-stranded DNA is tandemly repeating, the complementary strand will consist of interspersed repeats. Tandem repeats are characterized by a sequence of nucleotides that are repeated consecutively. In the complementary strand, the repeated sequence will also be present but in a different orientation and not necessarily in the same order.
