Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG.

Detailed explanation-2: -noun Biochemistry. either of the two chains that make up a double helix of DNA, with corresponding positions on the two chains being composed of a pair of complementary bases. a section of one nucleic acid chain that is bonded to another by a sequence of base pairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complementary strands The complementary strand for DNA must follow the base pairing and polarity rules. Pairing means that A=T and G=C. Polarity means that the strands have to run in opposite directions. First write the correct base pairing below the original sequence and label the 5’ and 3’ ends.
