To provide the complementary DNA strand for the given sequence TATGCCGTATGC, you will need to understand that in DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). So, you will replace each nucleotide in the given sequence with its complementary base to get the strand that pairs with it.

Here are the steps:

1. Look at the first nucleotide in the given sequence: T (thymine). Its complement is A (adenine). 2. Move to the next nucleotide: A (adenine). Its complement is T (thymine). 3. Continue this process for each nucleotide in the original sequence.

Applying this rule to the entire sequence TATGCCGTATGC, you get the following complementary sequence:

- T pairs with A - A pairs with T - T pairs with A - G pairs with C - C pairs with G - C pairs with G - G pairs with C - T pairs with A - A pairs with T - T pairs with A - G pairs with C - C pairs with G

So the complementary DNA strand to TATGCCGTATGC is:

ATACGGCATACG.
