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.

How do bases bond together?
Note that adenine only bonds with thymine, and cytosine only bonds with guanine. The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds: adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds; cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds.
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.
Which is the strongest base pair?
Guanine and cytosine because they are held together by three hydrogen bonds while adenine and thymine are held together by 2.
Adenine is found in Rna but not in DNA?
No, adenine bonds with thymine in Dna, while adenine bonds with uracil in Rna [the pairs AT & AU].
Which nuclotide pair bonds would be found in an DNA molecule?
The two different nucleotide pair bonds found in DNA are guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine.
What does Adenine A bond with?
Adenine bonds with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.
How do bases bond together?
Note that adenine only bonds with thymine, and cytosine only bonds with guanine. The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds: adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds; cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds.
What are the nitrogenous base pairing rule?
adenine bonds to thymine cytosine bonds to guanine. (In RNA adenine bonds to uracil)
How many bonds hold the bases of C and G together?
Adenine and Thymine Guanine and Cytosine held together by hydrogen bonds: 2 for A-T and 3 for G-C
Which nitrogen base bonds with adenine?
Thymine will always bond with adenine, and guanine will always bind with cytosine.
Is thymine found in Dna?
Yes it is, along with the other nucleotide bases adenine, cytosine and guanine. Thymine bonds with Adenine in Dna. Adenine bonds with Uracil in Rna.
A bonds with what?
Adenine bonds with thymine in a DNA strand, however, in an RNA strand, Adenine bonds with uracil.
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.
