Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Guanine bonds with ____
A
Adenine
B
Guanine
C
Cytosine
D
Thymine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Guanine pairs with cytosine, and adenine pairs with thymine in DNA. Interstrand hydrogen bonds are responsible for this pairing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Guanine pairs with cytosine with 3 hydrogen bonds. This creates a difference in strength between the two sets of Watson and Crick bases. Guanine and cytosine bonded base pairs are stronger then thymine and adenine bonded base pairs in DNA.
