Complementary Definition:
Refers to the matching of two strands of DNA or RNA based on the base-pairing rules (e.g., the two strands of DNA are complementary to each other).
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Complementary Notes:
A complementary strand refers to the strands of the DNA, as each strand has the complementary sequence of nucleotides as compared to the other strand. The DNA is comprised of two strands, each consisting of four types of base pairs, adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). A is the complementary nucleotide for T, while G complements C on the other strand.
