| complementary DNA |
The double-stranded DNA complement of an mRNA sequence; synthesized in vitro from a mature RNA template using reverse transcriptase (to create a single strand of DNA from the RNA template) and DNA polymerase (to create the double-stranded DNA). Preparation of cDNAs is often the first step in cloning DNA sequences of interest. ...

| complementary genes |
Two or more interdependent genes, such that (in the case of dominant complementarity) the dominant allele from either gene can only produce an effect on the phenotype of an organism if the dominant allele from the other gene is also present; or (in the case of recessive complementarity) only double homozygous recessive show the effect.
