DNA Base Pairing: Understanding A-T and G-C Complementarity
The correct pairs of complementary nitrogenous bases in DNA are:
* Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)
* Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)
This pairing is based on the specific hydrogen bonding between the bases. Adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds, while guanine and cytosine form three hydrogen bonds.
