Cytosine will form a base pair only with?
Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) pair, as do Adenine (A) and Thymine (T).
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
Is A C a legitimate base pair?
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.
Why is complementary base pairing necessary for replication?
Complementary base pairing is necessary because it ensures the fidelity of the DNA sequence during replication. Because only one base can pair with only one other, the two daughter strands of DNA made during replication will be the exact same as the original parent strand. If this were not the case DNA replication would result in random DNA sequences.
Why is complimentary base pairing vital to the structure of DNA?
Base pair complementarity ensures faithful DNA replication. Remember that a base can only pair with a definite pair and not with just about any base therefore this ensures high fidelity of replication. If guanine can only pair with cytosine the same way that adenine can .only pair with thymine then the copying of the DNA will be accurate.
Will adenine only pair with cytosine?
No. Adenine doesn't even usually pair with Cytosine. If you're talking about DNA, Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. A with T, C with G. This is only a general rule, however- Adenine and Cytosine can pair if you have a wobble base pair.
What is meant by -base paring- and which base pair with which?
It means which nitrogen base pairs with the other Nitrogen bases: A-t T-a C-g G-c
On DNA a blank base will always pair with a blank base?
im pretty sure its c with g
Which DNA strand can base pair with a-t-g-c-t-a?
T-A-C-G-A-T
Which tRNA molecule would attach to the mRNA strand?
C&G can only pair up ,and U&A can only pair up.
What would indicate a base paring an A paired with a T or a C paired with a G?
Which of the following would indicate a base pairing mutation in DNA?1) an A paired with a T2) a C paired with a G3) a G paired with a T4) all the above are improrer base pairsThe correct answer is #3A should pair with T and G should pair with CIf A paired with C or G paired with T it would be a base pairing mutation.
Why would a DNA molecule have the same percentage of guanine and cytosine in it?
A G-C base pair has three hydrogen bonds, whereas an A-T base pair has two
