Cytosine and Guanine require more energy to separate than Adenine and Thymine. This is because C and G bond with 3 hydrogen bonds while A and T bond with only 2 hydrogen bonds. Since there are more hydrogen bonds between C and G, a higher amount of energy is required to overcome these hydrogen bonds to separate the base pairs.

Which base pair is harder to separate?

C and G are harder to separate than A and T because 3 hydrogen bonds exist between the bases C and G while only 2 hydrogen bonds exist between A and T.


In DNA which is harder to break the adenine-thymine base pair or the guanine-cytosice base pair Why?

The guanine-cytosine base pair is harder to break than the adenine-thymine base pair due to the presence of three hydrogen bonds between guanine and cytosine, compared to two hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine. This makes the guanine-cytosine pair more stable and stronger.

Will your D1S80 fragments be separated by gel electrophoresis if you have a 200 base pair and a 400 base pair?

Yes, gel electrophoresis separates fragments based on their size. Therefore it will be able to separate a 200bp fragment from a 400bp fragment provided you use the correct gel composition (as this affects the sensitivity to size differences).

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.
