James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with the base pairing rules and DNA structure in general. Erwin Chargaff is credited with the rules of base pairs in that the number of pyrimidines is equal to the number of purines.

∙ 12y agoWatson and Crick came up with the base-pairing rule for nucleic acids using Chargaff's rule that in DNA the percentages of adenine and thymine are equal, and the percentages of guanine and cytosine are equal.

Maurice Wilkins also shared the Nobel Prize in 1962 for Physiology or Medicine along with Watson and Crick for coming up with the model for the structure of DNA.

If DNA molecule is compared to a spiral staircase what part make up the steps?
pairs of nitrogen bases
Are nitrogen bases are located in the central rungs of a DNA ladder?
Yes, the rungs of the DNA ladder consist of pairs of nitrogen bases.
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What is the normal pairing of nitrogen bases found in a DNA molecule?
In DNA, the nitrogen base adenine (A) pairs with the nitrogen base thymine (T), and the nitrogen base cytosine (C) pairs with the nitrogen base guanine (G). So the base pairs are A:T and C:G. One way to remember is that A:T spells the word "at."
How do nitrogen bases match up?
The nitrogen bases pair up in twos cytosine with guanine and adenine with thymine
If DNA molecule is compared to a spiral staircase what part make up the steps?
pairs of nitrogen bases
What Nitrogen bases that always always pairs with thymine?
Adenine always pairs with thymine
What are the arrangements of the nitrogen bases in DNA?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Cytosine pairs with Guanine
What are the nitrogen based pairs?
The nitrogen bases in DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. They pair with each other as follows: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. The nitrogen bases in RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. They pair with each other as follows: adenine pairs with uracil, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
Are nitrogen bases are located in the central rungs of a DNA ladder?
Yes, the rungs of the DNA ladder consist of pairs of nitrogen bases.
What are the nitrogen bases found in RNA and how do they pair?
In RNA the nitrgen bases are: A, C, G, U. A pairs with U, and C pairs with G.
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
Is amino acid a double spiral molecule with pairs of nitrogen bases?
No its a DNA
What is the order ofd the nitrogen bases?
Adenine pairs with Thymine(Double bond) Guanine pairs with Cytosine (Triple Bond) A & G are purine bases and T & C are pyrimidine bases.
What is the normal pairing of nitrogen bases found in a DNA molecule?
In DNA, the nitrogen base adenine (A) pairs with the nitrogen base thymine (T), and the nitrogen base cytosine (C) pairs with the nitrogen base guanine (G). So the base pairs are A:T and C:G. One way to remember is that A:T spells the word "at."
What Nitrogen bases floating in the nucleus pairs up with what on each half of the DNA molecule.?
A pairs with T ,G pairs with C , T pairs with A, G pairs with C during replication .
What are nitrogen bases and their complementary base pairs in DNA and RNA?
Th nitrogen bases for DNA are: thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and adenine (A). For RNA they are adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil (U).DNA base pairing is highly specific: T pairs with A (T-A) and G pairs with C (G-C).RNA base pairing is not as specific, but can be said to occur like so: U pairing with A (U-A) and G pairing with C.
