To determine the complementary daughter strand, recall the base-pairing rules for DNA: cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T). The given parent strand is written 5' to 3' as: G G C T A C G T T C A. For each base in this sequence, substitute its complement:
- G pairs with C
- G pairs with C
- C pairs with G
- T pairs with A
- A pairs with T
- C pairs with G
- G pairs with C
- T pairs with A
- T pairs with A
- C pairs with G
Thus, the complementary daughter strand is: C C G A T G C A A G T.
Note: In RNA, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T), but since the prompt uses a DNA sequence with T, the correct complementary DNA strand uses T where appropriate. The final answer should be written in uppercase letters with no spaces, resulting in CCGATGCAAGT.
