Detailed explanation-1: -It is a truth universally acknowledged that a guanine–cytosine (GC) base pair has three hydrogen bonds whereas adenine–thymine (AT) has two.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -STATEMENT-1 : Guanine unites with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds but it forms only one hydrogen bond with thymine.
Detailed explanation-4: -Usually three classes are distinguished: weak, moderate, and strong bonds, with energetic boundaries at about 2 and 15 kcal/mol. The weak hydrogen bonds involve less polar X-H groups in proton donors, like C-H or P-H groups, or less polar acceptors, like the N2 molecule in the N2⋯HF complex discussed above.
