I am trying to figure out the complete strand but I can't find anything online or in my book that explains how you would go about figuring it out. Please someone give me an example so I can figure this out on my own.

Well the full question states:
"Which of the following strands of DNA would be the complete strand to C-C-A-T-C-G?"

G-G-T-A-G-C
The G's are opposite the C's and the A's are opposite the T's.

yulia is right and this is why; if you have one side of the strand (remember DNA is a double stranded helix) being C C A T C G then the other side would be G G T A G C because C (cytosine) and G (guanine) go together and A (adenine) and T (thymine) go together; I just studied this for A & P last week; good luck!

What do you mean by a complete strand?
If you mean the pairing, I remember what goes with what by:
All Tigers
Grow Cautious.
A and T go together, and G and C go together.

the complement strand will be : G,G,T,G,C.
In DNA there are 2 pairs that always go together.

G-G-T-A-G-C completes it. Remember, A=T and C=G for DNA replication.
