Answer:

TACGAATTG

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four types of bases:

- Adenine (A)

- Thymine (T)

- Cytosine (C)

- Guanine (G)

The bases bond together by complementary base pairing

Adenine : Thymine (A : T)

Cytosine : Guanine (C : G)

Hence, the complementary strand code for ATGCTTAAC is TACGAATTG
