Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.

Whose rule does base pairing prove?
Erwin Chargaff
Who proposed the base pairing rule?
Watson 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. Refer to the related link below.
What it the rule that explains how nucleotides interact with each other?
Base Pairing Rules
A nucleotide is about to be added to a growing strand of DNA. What factor determines which type of nucleotide will be added?
The nucleotide to be added is determined by the nucleotide on the DNA stand. They always come in pairs. G matches with C and A with T.
What did Watson need to consider when he worked out the DNA base pairing?
- Bond angles - Bond lengths - The location of hydrogen atoms - Chargaff's pairs (although he didn't recognize them at the time)
Which two scientists figured out the base-pairing rules?
Ernest Chargaff (Austrian) and Waclaw Szybalski (Polish).
What scientist are credited with base pairing rules?
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.
How are base pairing rules and complementary base pairs related?
Base pairing rules and complementary base rules are related because of DNA. If one can find the base pairing on a strand of DNA, usually the complementary base is easily found.
How do the base pairing rules 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.

Who hypothesized that nitrogen bases in DNA occur in pairs?
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.
What scientist first developed rules about base composition?
Chargaff
