Base Pairing Rules
Adenine pairs with thymine Guanine pairs with cytosine.
The base pairing rule is known as complementary base pairing. In DNA, the following base pairing rules apply: Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G) In RNA, Uracil replaced Thymine so the base pairing rules here become Uracal (U) to Adenine (A).
Watson and Crick came up with the base-pairing rule for nucleic acids using Chargaff's rule that in DNA the percentages of adenine and thymine are equal, and the percentages of guanine and cytosine are equal. Refer to the related link below.
The rule A-T; C-G is a complementary base pair, and is semi-conservative replication. The Hydrogen bonds will always pair in these exact pairs.

mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA molecule according to the base-pairing rule.
A goes to U and G goes to C. DNA its A=T G=C.
No. It should be A-T and G-C
Chargaff's rule means that there should be the same number of purine and pyrimidine bases in DNA. The base pairing rules means that A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C ie. a purine always pairs with a pyrimidine, so there must be the same number of both proving Chargaff's rule.
