  • DNA Complementary Base Sequence: Understanding Strand Pairing
    The base sequence on the other strand of the DNA helix would be:

    TACCGGATC

    Here's why:

    * Base Pairing Rules: DNA bases always pair up in a specific way:

    * Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

    * Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)

    * Complementary Strands: The two strands of DNA are complementary, meaning the bases on one strand dictate the bases on the other.

    Therefore, if one strand has ATGGCCTAG, the other strand will have the complementary sequence: TACCGGATC.
