Complementary strand

if you know the sequence of one strand of DNA, you can predict the sequence of the strand that will pair with it

How are RNA and DNA similar?

Both these molecules possess four nitrogenous bases. Both the molecules of DNA and RNA exhibit a phosphate backbone to which attachment of bases takes place

Why is the DNA molecules referred to as the 'blueprint of life'?
DNA tells the cell how to build the organism like a blue print does for a house
