|
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.
