Best Answer

Guanine, Adenine, Thymine


You left out cytosine.

The four base pairs in the nucleic acid for DNA are: Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The four base pairs in a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand are as follows: Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine.

They complement each other in DNA as follows: Cytosine = Guanine and Adenine = Thymine

This means that if you are given one side of DNA, you will be able to figure out the complementary side.

adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine- they have to pair up in a certain way.

adenine and thymine - guanine and cytosine

(A) (T)

(G) (C) FOR EXMAPLE- A T T G C A T G A C G

T A A C G T A C T G C

because those to certain letters are always together!- look at bold
