Chargaff's rule, also known as the complementary base pairing rule, states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa.

adenine = thymine

Guanine - cytosine

cytosine - guanine

So the sequence of the complementary base pairs would be
