What is the complementary DNA base to Guanine?
A
Adenine
B
Cytosine
C
Guanine
D
Thymine
E
Uracil
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: -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. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .

Detailed explanation-4: -Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. 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).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
