Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In RNA, Cytosine and ____ are always paired together.
A
Uracil
B
Guanine
C
Adenine
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Detailed explanation-2: -In both DNA and RNA, cytosine pairs with guanine (C = G) by forming three hydrogen bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -In base pairing, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.

Detailed explanation-4: -A always pairs with T and G always pairs with C because these are the only combinations that allow for hydrogen bonding to occur, given the spatial constraints of the double helix, which requires there to be one purine and one pyrimidine in each base pair.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA is made up of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. RNA has these same bases, except in RNA, there is no Thymine. Instead, Uracil is found.
