Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In DNA base pairs, Adenine bonds with:
A
Guanine
B
Cytosine
C
Thymine
D
Adenine
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. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .

Detailed explanation-2: -In DNA, the code letters are A, T, G, and C, which stand for the chemicals adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. In base pairing, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -In DNA, adenine binds to thymine via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures. Adenine is one of the two purines nucleobases utilized in the process of forming nucleotides of the nucleic acids. Adenine also bonds with Thymine in the DNA structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
