In must be first taken to note the complementary code for each nucleobases.

In Deoxyribonucleic Acids (DNA)

Adenine (A) = Thymine (T)

Guanine (G) = Cytosine (C)

In Ribonucleic Acids (RNA)

Adenine (A) = Uracil (U)

Thymine (T) = Adenine (A)

Guanine (G) = Cytosine (C)

 

Given the code  CGCAUU TATCGG ATAGCC GCGATT

The complementary code will be GCGUAA AUAGCC UAUCGG CGCUAA
