Answer:

ATCCATTGA

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that DNA consists of complementary bases.

As per the pairing rule of DNA -

Adenine pair up with Thymine

Guanine pair up with Cytosine

Hence, A = T

and C= G

Now if replica is formed of any base sequence, then it must have complementary bases.

Thus, the replica of TAGGTAACT would be ATCCATTGA
