cytosine and thymine
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: In mRNA, three non-overlapping nucleotide base pairs are often sequenced to code a specific amino acid and are called triplet codons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adenine (A) is one of the four nucleotide bases in DNA, with the other three being cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Within a double-stranded DNA molecule, adenine bases on one strand pair with thymine bases on the opposite strand. The sequence of the four nucleotide bases encodes DNA’s information.
Detailed explanation-4: -Base pairing between adenine and thymine can be found in DNA only. There are two hydrogen bonds holding the two nitrogenous bases together. One of the hydrogen bonds is formed between one of the Hydrogen atoms of the amino group at C-6 of adenine and the Oxygen atom of the keto group at C-4 of thymine.
