In DNA, complementary strands are two strands of nucleotides that base pair by hydrogen bonds across the nitrogen basses of each nucleotide is such a way that A (adenine) always pairs with T (thymine) and G (guanine) always pairs with C (cytosine). The sequences are complementary in that each strand has the pair match (complimentary) base to the other all along the strand.

The best way to do this in duplication of the DNA. AT and CG are complimentary to each other. So to adenine you fix the thymine and vise verse. To cytosine you fix the guanine and vise verse. You can not make a mistake or make one, very rarely.
