Answer:

AACGTGC

Step-by-step explanation:

Nucleotides always join to their complementary bases. In this case, the sequence starts with T, which means thymine, and T is always complementary to A, which means adenine. This works both ways. Likewise, the G base of the sequence means guanine, and it will always be complemented with C, cytosine, also working the other way around.
