Answer:

AACGTGC

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test on Edmentum/PLATO.

You see, AACGTGC is the opposite of TTGCACG because

T = A

G = C

C = G

A = T

the complementary base would be AACGTGC

the reason why this would be the complementary strand is because, you switch out the letter for the one its paired with so for reference

Thymine=Adenine

Guanine=Cytosine

Cytosine=Guanine

Adenine=Thymine
