To determine the complementary DNA strand for the original strand ATC GCT AAT, we pair each base with its complement:
- A (adenine) pairs with T (thymine)
- T (thymine) pairs with A (adenine)
- C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine)
- G (guanine) pairs with C (cytosine)
Following these rules for the strand ATC GCT AAT, we obtain:
- A pairs with T
- T pairs with A
- C pairs with G
- G pairs with C
- C pairs with G
- T pairs with A
- A pairs with T
- T pairs with A
So, the complementary strand is:
TAG CGA TTA
Therefore, the correct answer is:
TAG CGA TTA
