CCGTAGGCC (L) GGCATCCGG (R) just the opposite of the first one. AT and GC So if it is a C you change it to a G if it is a G you change it to a C. Same thing with AT . In DNA they always have pairs

The DNA base pairs:

A goes with T.

C goes with G.

If one side has A, the other will have T, and vice versa.

If one side has C, the other will have G, and vice versa.

C C G T A G G C C
| | | | | | | | |
G G C A T C C G G

So the sequence of the right chain would be GGCATCCGG.
