Solution:
The two chains of DNA are complementary to each other. The sequence of nucleotides in one chain determines the sequence of nucleotides in the other. Nitrogenous bases of the two chains show complementary pairing. Adenine of one chain pairs with thymine of another chain and guanine with cytosine. So, the nucleotide sequence opposite to ATACG will be TATGC.
