Detailed explanation-1: -C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)
Detailed explanation-2: -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. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .
Detailed explanation-3: -Chargaff’s rules state that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the Chargaff’s rules of base pairing are: Relation of A with T: The Pyrimidine Thymine (T) always pairs with the Purine Adenine (A) Relation of C with G: The Purine Guanine (G) always pair with the Pyrimidine Cytosine (C)
Detailed explanation-5: -DNA sequences have been described which use newly created nucleobases to form a third base pair, in addition to the two base pairs found in nature, A-T (adenine – thymine) and G-C (guanine – cytosine).
