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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complementary base pairs refer to the nitrogenous bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. in a double strand of DNA, adenine will always pair with its complement thymine and cytosine will always pair with its complement guanine.
Detailed explanation-4: -In DNA, the code letters are A, T, G, and C, which stand for the chemicals adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively.
