The Watson-Crick base pair of Thymine is Adenine. The two molecules are bound together by a set of three hydrogen bonds. Thymine can also form what are known as Thymine dimers when exposed to UV radiation, which is the source of damage to DNA from overexposure to UV radiation and can cause cancer.

What are the complementary base-pairing rules for biology?

In DNA, Adenine bonds with Thymine, Cytosine bonds with Guanine. In RNA, Thymine is replaced with Uracil (bases capitalized for easy emphasis/reference, not grammar.) Purines and Pyrimidines are two families of Nitrogenous bases. In DNA: Adenine and Guanine : Purines Cytosine and Thymine: Pyrimidines Adenine bonds with Thymine and Guanine bonds with Cytosine. A&T have 2 hydrogen bonds and G&C have 3 hydrogen bonds.
