In a DNA molecule, the complementary strand is the one composed of bases that pair -complement- the bases of the original strand. The complementary strand is TACCCGATCAGAA.
<h3>What is a complementary strand?</h3>
During DNA replication, the molecule unwinds and the two strands are separated. These are the original strands.
Once the strands are separated, the elongation process begins, in which new nucleotides are added to complement each of the original strands.
A DNA molecule grows composed of an old existing strand, which is used to synthesize the new complementary strand.
After DNI replication each new molecule carries an original DNI strand and a new one.
So, the complementary strand is the new one composed of bases that pair the bases from the original strand.
In DNA molecules, Adenine pairs Thymine, and Cytosine pairs Guanine.
In the exposed example,
Original strand ⇒ ATGGGCTAGTCTT
Complementary strand ⇒ TACCCGATCAGAA
