Answer:

base pairing property

Step-by-step explanation:

every dna/rna base, a c g t and u, has only one possible pairing partner, so if the strand is open on one side (single strand), the opposite side can be inferred because only one sequence will match the existing strand's base sequence. the property is usually called base pairing property
