Answer:

The sequence along one strand is the "complement" of the sequence along the other strand, so that when two strands are bonded each base is paired with its complementary partner. A-T-T-C-G-G-A-C-T-A, is paired with this complementary strand: This allows A and T to pair and C and G to pair. Each base hydrogen-bonds to its complementary base.

Hope this helps
