  • DNA Base Pairing: Understanding Adenine-Thymine & Guanine-Cytosine
    The pattern of base pairing in DNA can be summarized as complementary base pairing.

    Here's the breakdown:

    * Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T). They form two hydrogen bonds.

    * Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C). They form three hydrogen bonds.

    This pairing is consistent throughout the entire DNA molecule. It's what allows DNA to replicate itself accurately and for genes to be transcribed into RNA.
