What is Understanding DNA Strand Complementarity about?
The two strands of DNA are complementary rather than identical because the nucleotides on one strand only pair with specific nucleotides on the other strand through hydrogen bonding - adenine pairs with thymine via two hydrogen bonds and guanine pairs with cytosine via three hydrogen bonds. This complementary base pairing means that the sequence of one strand determines the sequence of the other strand, so they are not identical but complementary to each other.
