Answer:

The nucleotide sequence of a corresponding DNA strand would be TCGAATTCG.

It can be explained with the help of complementary base-pairing nature of the DNA strands that is, the nucleotide bases of the two strands are complementary in nature.

The purines (adenine and guanine) always base-pair with pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine).

More specifically, adenine always base-pair with thymine with the help of two hydrogen bonds and guanine always base-pair with cytosine with the help of three hydrogen bonds.
