Answer:

The sequence is TCAA

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two complementary chains of nucleotides. The nucleotides are in turn composed of one nitrogenous base, one deoxyribose sugar, and one phosphate group. The four different types of nitrogen bases found in DNA are thymine (substituted by Uracil during RNA transcription), adenine, cytosine and guanine. These bases bind by complementary base pairing to form an antiparallel double-strand. The complementary base pairing rule states that thymine forms two hydrogen bonds with adenine, while cytosine forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
