Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chargaff’s rule, also known as the complementary base pairing rule, states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G).
Detailed explanation-2: -In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine (A-T), and guanine always pairs with cytosine (G-C).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Adenine-Thymine base pair is held together by 2 hydrogen bonds while the Guanine-Cytosine base pair is held together by 3 hydrogen bonds.
