Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

During complementary base pairing, Adenine pairs with what other nitrogenous base?

A	Adenine
B	Cytosine
C	Guanine
D	Thymine

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA base pair. 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: In DNA the complementary bases are adenine and thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complementary Pairing The four nitrogenous bases are A, T, C, and G. They stand for adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. The four different bases pair together in a way known as complementary pairing. Adenine always pairs with thymine, and cytosine always pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The four nitrogenous bases of DNA are thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Guanine and cytosine are bonded together by three hydrogen bonds; whereas, adenine and thymine are bonded together by two hydrogen bonds. This is known as complementary base pairing.

Detailed explanation-5: -In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine (A-T), and guanine always pairs with cytosine (G-C). RNA is the same, except that adenine always pairs with uracil (A-U).
