in DNA, each base pairs up with only one other base
You can predict the base seqences of a DNA molecule if you know what one strand is, because of double Stranded DNA. Each strand matches up with a letter and repeats a pattern throught the entire DNA strand.

Since DNA strands are complementary, the base pairing rules dictate that adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Therefore, by knowing the sequence of one DNA strand, you can predict the sequence of the complementary strand based on these pairing rules. This allows scientists to determine the complete sequence of double-stranded DNA molecules.
each strand in the DNA molecule has a gap of 3.4 angstrom(Ao) between them. the total length of one series of strand or 1 DNA molecule is 34 Ao. therefore 34/3.4=10. there are 10 strands or N2 base pairs in a DNA molecule.

A palindromic DNA sequence is one where the nucleotide sequence reads the same forwards and backwards on both strands. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, the two strands are complementary and run anti-parallel to each other. This means that the palindromic sequence on one strand will have its complementary sequence on the other strand.
The complementary DNA sequence is a nucleic acid sequence that is the reverse complement of a given DNA sequence. In this sequence, each nucleotide is paired with its complementary base: adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine. This is important in DNA replication and transcription processes.
CAGGTA
The opposite strand of a DNA sequence will have complementary nucleotides. In this case, the sequence of the base pairs on the opposite strand of AGCTCAG would be TCGAGTC.
The corresponding mRNA strand would be AUCG.
strand would have the sequence 3'taactg5'. The complementary strand pairs with the original using base pairing rules (A with T and C with G) in a double helix structure.

During transcription, only one DNA strand is used as a template to synthesize an mRNA molecule. This strand is called the template or antisense strand. The other DNA strand, known as the coding or sense strand, is not used because it has the same sequence as the mRNA molecule being produced, except with thymine instead of uracil. Transcribing both strands would be redundant and energetically wasteful.
