|
cytosine
|
|
|
thymine
|
|
|
guanine
|
|
|
uracil

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Complementary base for adenine is cytosine.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine (A-T), and guanine always pairs with cytosine (G-C).
Detailed explanation-4: -Adenine always bonds with thymine, making them DNA’s other pair of complementary bases.
Detailed explanation-5: -Adenine always pairs with thymine because they form two hydrogen bonds.
