Pyrimidines in DNA is about equal to the percentage of purines. This is established by Chargoff's rule and is confirmed by the fact that base pairing of anything but a pyrimidine with a purine would be too wide or too narrow to fit within the backbones of a DNA strand
Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.
The Ligase connects nucleotides together during DNA replication.
The four DNA nucleotides are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These nucleotides pair up with each other to form the base pairs that make up the DNA double helix.
When two nucleotides are joined together, the resulting structure is called a dinucleotide.
A subunit of a nucleic acid is a nucleotide, which consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These nucleotides bond together to form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules, which store and transfer genetic information.
Complementary base pair
Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.
No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).
They pair by hydrogen bonds holding them together. Covalent bonds hold the nucleotides together, creating a sugar-phosphate backbone.

Guanine is a purine and Cytosine is a pyrimidine. They are nucleotides that pair together. The two are useful in DNA molecules because they pair together, along with Adenine and Thymine, which build a double helix. Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, and Cytosine are all nitrogenous bases.
The Ligase connects nucleotides together during DNA replication.
The base of the nucleotides
At, GC
Adenine always pairs with thymine in DNA.
The DNA sequence that would pair with the DNA segment TTACGC is AATGCG. The mRNA sequence that would pair with the DNA segment TTACGC is AAUGCG.
Yes because the bases pair uniquely when the strands are joined together.
