Match the following nitrogenous bases with their pair: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match the nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine) with their complementary pairs. This involves identifying which base pairs with which in the context of DNA structure.
Answer
Adenine-Thymine, Cytosine-Guanine.
Adenine pairs with Thymine, Thymine pairs with Adenine, Cytosine pairs with Guanine, Guanine pairs with Cytosine.
Answer for screen readers
Adenine pairs with Thymine, Thymine pairs with Adenine, Cytosine pairs with Guanine, Guanine pairs with Cytosine.
More Information
In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine due to specific hydrogen bonding patterns.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing RNA base pairs with DNA base pairs. Adenine pairs with uracil in RNA instead of thymine.
