QUESTION:

List the complementary base of:

(a) adenine (A)

(b) thymine (T)

(c) cytosine (C)

(d) guanine (G)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

The bases present in nucleotides are oriented with the opposite pairs, and this process of opposite pairing is referred to as complementary base pairing. Chargaff's rule demonstrates the rules for base pairing.

Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are purine bases. Structure formation is possible by two atoms obtained from each ring containing nitrogen and six atoms in a ring containing nitrogen and five other atoms. Thymine (T) and cytosine (C) are pyrimidine bases in which a ring containing nitrogen with six atoms is accountable for its formation.
