Understanding DNA Bases: A Guide to Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
The nitrogen bases that make up DNA are:
* Adenine (A)
* Guanine (G)
* Cytosine (C)
* Thymine (T)
These bases pair up in a specific way: adenine always pairs with thymine (A-T), and guanine always pairs with cytosine (G-C). This pairing is crucial for the structure and function of DNA.
