Which of the following would indicate a base pairing mutation in DNA?

1) an A paired with a T

2) a C paired with a G

3) a G paired with a T

4) all the above are improrer base pairs

The correct answer is #3

A should pair with T and G should pair with C

If A paired with C or G paired with T it would be a base pairing mutation.

What describes the paring of DNA bases?

Complimentary base pairs are paired as: A with T by 2 hydrogen bonds. C with G by 3 hydrogen bonds.


What is antiparallel base paring?

Antiparallel base pairing refers to the arrangement of nucleotide bases in DNA strands that run in opposite directions. In this arrangement, the 5' end of one strand is paired with the 3' end of the complementary strand. This allows for the formation of stable hydrogen bonds between the bases to maintain the structure of the DNA double helix.


What base is always paired with thymine?

Thymine


What is meant by -base paring- and which base pair with which?

It means which nitrogen base pairs with the other Nitrogen bases: A-t T-a C-g G-c


What is mean by the term base pairing?

Base pairing in DNA is very simple. It means that Adenine will always be paired with Thymine and Guanine will always be paired with Cytosine.


Which describrs the correct pairing of dna bases?

(in apex 2.1.3) T with A, and C with G The DNA bases are paired as follows: Adenine is paired to Thymine Guanine is paired to Cytosine. This is the same for RNA except Adenine is paired to Uracil instead of Thymine.


Would a pH of 10 would indicate that you had a strong base?

Not necessarily. Although a very dilute strong base can produce a pH of 10, so can a weak base such as ammonia.


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.


Why is complementary base paring vital to DNA structure?

Because if the pairing of the bases is incorrect then a mutation will form that can be silent or deadly .


Nitrogenous base pair in DNA?

The nitrogenous base pairs in DNA are adenine (A) paired with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) paired with guanine (G). These base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds, forming the double helix structure of DNA.


What base pairing arrangement is found in double-stranded DNA?

Adenine is paired with thymine.Cytosine is paired with guanine.
