To find the complementary strand of the given DNA sequence (A T T C G G G A T A T T), we need to pair each nucleotide with its complementary base:

  • A (Adenine) pairs with T (Thymine)
  • T (Thymine) pairs with A (Adenine)
  • C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine)
  • G (Guanine) pairs with C (Cytosine)

Now, let's determine the complementary strand for the sequence A T T C G G G A T A T T:

  1. A → T
  2. T → A
  3. T → A
  4. C → G
  5. G → C
  6. G → C
  7. G → C
  8. A → T
  9. T → A
  10. A → T
  11. T → A

So the complementary strand will be:

T A A G C C C T A T A A

Thus, the correct answer is:

T A A G C C C T A T A A
