BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -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. That is also the reason why the two strands of a DNA molecule can be separated more easily at sections that are densely populated by A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Guanine and thymine are similarly incompatible. A always pairs with T and G always pairs with C because these are the only combinations that allow for hydrogen bonding to occur, given the spatial constraints of the double helix, which requires there to be one purine and one pyrimidine in each base pair.

Detailed explanation-3: -Base Pair The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three H-bonds between guanine and cytosine whereas two H-bonds are present between adenine and thymine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C). Base pair may also refer to the actual number of base pairs, such as 8 base pairs, in a sequence of nucleotides.
