Complimentary DNA strands "compliment" each other by having compatible sequences, allowing the nitrogenous bases on one strand to form hydrogen bonds with the corresponding (complimentary) bases on the other strand.  There are four nitrogenous bases, Adenonine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), and Thymine (T).  Under the base pairing rules, A pairs with T and G pairs with C.

DNA contains [[gene]]s that encode for [[protein]]s, which are produced by the DNA first being transcribed into m[[RNA]] and then translated into polypeptides (this process is called the [[central dogma]] of molecular biology). All organisms (plants, animals, bacteria, etc.) use DNA as their hereditary material. Offspring of sexually reproducing organisms contain DNA from both parents.
