Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Complementary base pairs in DNA are
A
Adenine-Thymine
B
Cytosine-Uracil
C
Guanine-Adenine
D
Uracil-Adenine
E
Cytosine-Guanine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Guanine always bonds with cytosine, which makes them a pair of complementary bases. Adenine always bonds with thymine, making them DNA’s other pair of complementary bases. These pairs form the “rungs” of the DNA ladder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: In DNA the complementary bases are adenine and thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Adenine always binds to thymine, while cytosine and guanine always bind to one another. This relationship is called complementary base paring. These complementary bases are bonded together via hydrogen bonds, which can be easily broken apart when the DNA needs to unzip and duplicate itself.

Detailed explanation-5: -In DNA, the complementary bases are adenine and guanine; thymine and cytosine. Each nucleotide in DNA is composed of a nitrogen containing base, either guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), or cytosine (C) as well as a monosaccharide sugar called deoxyribose and a phosphate group.
