DNA has two strands. if the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine the sequence of the secon strand? Explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. It would be complementary to the first strand. DNA is made up of adenine, guanine, thymine and cytocine (A, G, C & T). A is complementary to T; G is to C. Therefore, if the sequence of the first strand was ATCGGAT, the complementary strand would be TAGCCTA.
