Answer:

G C T A T G C A T G C G C A

C G A T A C G T C C G C G T

Step-by-step explanation:

  • DNA is a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information of organisms. DNA is made up of nucleotide bases, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Adenine which are the building blocks.
  • DNA is double stranded, that is, its is made up of two strands. Therefore, there exists pairing of bases between the two DNA strands of DNA such that the base, Adenine pairs with Thymine on the complementary strand and vice versa, while the base Cytosine pairs with Guanine on the complementary strand and vice versa.
