Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these is paired correctly?
A
Adenine-GuanineCytosine-Thymine/Uracil
B
Adenine-CytosineGuanine-Thymine/ Uracil
C
Adenine-Thymine/ UracilCytosine-Guanine
D
Adenine-UracilCytosine-Guanine/ Thymine
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Adenine-Thymine is the correct base pairing for DNA molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)

Detailed explanation-4: -The nitrogenous base that is correctly paired is guanine forming a base pair with cytosine.
