Final answer:
The complementary strand to the DNA sequence AACTGGCTA during replication is TTGACCGAT, using the base pairing rules where A pairs with T and C pairs with G.
Step-by-step explanation:
During DNA replication, the sequence on the complementary strand that pairs with the template sequence AACTGGCTA would be TTGACCGAT. This is determined using the base pairing rules where adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
Looking at the provided options, the correct sequence must follow these rules. By pairing each base of the template strand with its complement we get: A pairs with T, C pairs with G, T pairs with A, G pairs with C, G pairs with C, C pairs with G, T pairs with A, A pairs with T. This leads to a complementary strand with the sequence TTGACCGAT. Therefore, the correct answer would be option d) TTGACCGAT.
