3 and c and g have 2 or is it the other way around...@_@!!?
A-T/U- only has two hydrogen bonds G-C- has three hydrogen bonds
Thymine and adenine! Also guanine and uracil.
Based on the numebr of complementary hydrogen bonds. C (cytosine) bonds with G (guanine) through 3 hydrogen bonds whereas T (thymine) bonds with A (adenine) with only two.
Uracil and Adenine do not form any bonds in making DNA.In DNA Adenine hydrogen bonds with Thymine (a double hydrogen bond). In RNA Uracil takes place of Thymine. Thus, Uracil and Adenine hydrogen bond in RNA. The base pairing is adjusted in RNA for this. Instead of A-T pairing that takes place in DNA, A-U pairing takes place in RNA.there are 2 hydrogen bonds between Adenine and Uracil (double bond).
A bonds with TG bonds with C
How many hydrogen bonds exist between A and T?
There are 7 nitrogen atoms in the base pair A-T.
It is the hydrogen wich bonds between AT and GC the difference is in the number AT have 2 hydrogen bonds GC have 3 hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds
A-T/U- only has two hydrogen bonds G-C- has three hydrogen bonds
Adenine and Thymine Guanine and Cytosine held together by hydrogen bonds: 2 for A-T and 3 for G-C
Hydrogen bonds. There are three hydrogen bonds between G and C and two between A and T.
Thymine and adenine! Also guanine and uracil.
Complimentary base pairs are paired as: A with T by 2 hydrogen bonds. C with G by 3 hydrogen bonds.
A=Adenine T=Thymine G=Guanine C=Cytosine A and T bond together with 2 hydrogen bonds G and C bond together with 3 hydrogen bonds A T G | C
Complementary bases in DNA are held together via hydrogen bonds. Between G and C there are three hydrogen bonds and between A and T there are two hydrogen bonds.
It's not that the individual hydrogen bonds are stronger but rather there are more of them. Between A and T there are two hydrogen bonds, between G and C there are three hydrogen bonds. The additional hydrogen bond between G and C does mean that the bonding between G and C is much stronger then that between A and T and requiring of significantly more energy to break.
