Not in DNA. In DNA the only base pairs are A-T and C-G. RNA can form non-canonical base pairings, so you might get some AC in RNA structures.

What is the base unit of a nucleic acid?

The nitrogenous base units of a nucleic acid are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. (in Dna) in RNA Thymine is replaced with Uracil. These base pair are often abreviated to A,C,T,G, and U. Adenine will always pair with Thymine. Cytosine will always pair with guanine.


What is the base-pairing rules to the structure of DNA?

The base pairing-rules for DNA are that, only the Nitrogen Bases of DNA which are; Adenine "A"-which only pairs with-Thymine "T", and Cytosine "C"-which only pairs with-Guanine "G" can only pair to one another within that sequence.Posted By; JoelBaum24
