As far as DNA is concerned there are 4 base pairs:

  • Adenine
  • Thymine
  • Cytosine
  • Guanine

In short they are referred to as ATCG. A is always paired with T C is always paired with

Adenine-Thymine

Cytosine-Guanine

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Adenine pairs with thymine Guanine pairs with cytosine.


Whose rule does base pairing prove?

Base pairing proves Chargaff's rule, which states that in DNA, the amount of adenine equals the amount of thymine, and the amount of cytosine equals the amount of guanine.

Due to the strict pairing of nitrogen base pairs in DNA molecules the two strands are said to be what to each other?

Complementary. The base pairs in DNA always follow a specific pairing rule (A with T, and C with G), which means that the sequence of bases on one strand determines the sequence on the other, making them complementary.

Base Pairing Rules


What rule is used to join the free nucleotides to the exposed bases of the DNA?

The rule used to join free nucleotides to the exposed bases of DNA is base pairing. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine through hydrogen bonding. This complementary base pairing ensures the accurate replication of DNA during cell division.


What the base pairing rule for RNA?

A goes to U and G goes to C. DNA its A=T G=C.


How is RNA reflection of DNA?

mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA molecule according to the base-pairing rule.


How does the base pairing rule ensure each copy of DNA is identical to the original?

The base pairing rule ensures that during DNA replication, each base on one strand pairs with its complementary base on the other strand, forming an identical copy. This process maintains the genetic information in the original DNA molecule and results in the production of two identical DNA molecules.


How do the base pairing rule relate to chargaffs rules?

Chargaff's rule means that there should be the same number of purine and pyrimidine bases in DNA. The base pairing rules means that A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C ie. a purine always pairs with a pyrimidine, so there must be the same number of both proving Chargaff's rule.
