Yes, because each of the four nucleotide bases present in DNA have a corresponding base: adenine bases always pair with thymine bases, and cytosine bases always pair with guanine bases. For example, if one strand of a DNA molecule was CTAGGT, the sequence of the second strand would be, from left to right, GATCCA.
