The base pairing rule is known as complementary base pairing. In DNA, the following base pairing rules apply:

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G)

In RNA, Uracil replaced Thymine so the base pairing rules here become Uracal (U) to Adenine (A).

How are N-bases of DNA molecules paired?

The N-bases of DNA paired in the way that adenine nitrogenous base always paired with the thymine (or with uracil in the case of RNA) base and guanine paired with the cytosine .Strong hydrogen bondings are present among them.

Is uracil always paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA?

No, Uracil doesn't occur in double stranded DNA. Doublestranded DNA contains Guanine paired with Cytosine and Adenine paired with Thymine. In RNA, however, Adenine is always paired with Uracil instead of Thymine.


Is there a memory device to help you remember how the Nitrogenous bases are always paired?

Yes, the memory device is "AT is in a double date with GC." This means adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C) in DNA.

What type of bond keeps the bases paired toghter?

Hydrogen bonds are the type of bond that keeps the bases paired together in a DNA molecule. These bonds form between the complementary bases adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine.
