Which is an example of complementary base pairing in DNA?


adenine pairing with cytosine

thymine pairing with cytosine

guanine pairing with cytosine

uracil pairing with cytosine

Respuesta :

Guanine pairing with cytosine

Answer:

The answer is C: Guanine pairing with cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA, the genetic material has four types of nitrogenous bases, they are Adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Adenine pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds whereas cytosine pairs with guanine with three hydrogen bonds. Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA in place of thymine.
