Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Base Pairing for DNA means the what bases are attracted to each other
A
(A)denine
B
(A)denine
C
(A)denine
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA base pair. Under normal circumstances, the nitrogen-containing bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -This means that each of the two strands in double-stranded DNA acts as a template to produce two new strands. Replication relies on complementary base pairing, that is the principle explained by Chargaff’s rules: adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hybridization occurs when two different strands of DNA that have complementary sequences of nucleotides pair up and bind together.
