Because doubled stranded DNA (ds-DNA) is complementary in that A always pairs with T and G always pairs with C, wherever a G is located on strand 1, the complementary base in the same position on strand 2 is C; wherever a C is located on strand 1, the complementary base in the same position on strand 2 is G; wherever a T is located on strand 1, the complementary base in the same position on strand 2 is A; and wherever an A is located on strand 1, the complementary base in the same position on strand 2 is T.
