According to Watson and Crick, in double stranded helical DNA the bases are hydrogen bonded in the following order:

adenine (A) base pairs with thymine (T) through two hydrogen bonds

Guanine (G) base pairs with Cytosine (C) through three hydrogen bonds.

So, if we have a DNA sequence of GGCCGGCTACCA, its corresponding daughter strand will have following sequence i.e., CCGGCCGATGGT
