1 Answer

Answer: The complementary strand will be TGCAGCT.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replication is a process of making identical copies of a DNA in the cell. It is a process by which the genetic information in a parent DNA is used to make two identical copies of DNA (daughter DNA) which are complementary to the parent DNA. Four bases are found in DNAs: Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. In forming the complementary strand, the bases in the parent strand pairs with appropriate bases. In base pairing, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine.

A= T while G = C.
