Thymine
DNA Bases are complimentary as each base only binds to one other (Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine).
Adenine is a nucleotide base. These pair with other complimentary nucleotide bases. Therefore Adenine could not pair with another Adenine as they have the same shape, not a complimentary shape.
it is complimentary to thymine. it forms a double bond with thymine.
Adenine is complimentary to thymine. Cytosine is complimentary to guanine.
In terms of DNA base pairing, adenine and thymine are complimentary bases. Therefore, for every base of adenine, there will be a base of thymine to compliment it. Therefore, cells contain the same amount of the bases adenine (A) and thymine (T).
Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix. Complimentary bases are bases that fit together. (Guanine and Cytosine & Adenine and Thymine). A & T are complimentary. G & C are, too. They are bases (the letters) that fit together on a double helix.
Cytosine is the complement of guanine. no surprise
DNA Bases are complimentary as each base only binds to one other (Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine).
The complimentary nitrogen bases are: adenine with thymine cytosine with guanine
adenine pairs with thymine, cytosine pairs with guanine
In RNA, there are four kinds of base: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. There are no thymine bases. Therefore, there are no thymine and adenine base pairs. Addtional answer: The complimentary base of adenine in RNA is uracil which is a unmenthylated form of thymine. When menthylation occurs it becomes thymine which is paired with adenine in DNA. Thymine can also be called 5-methyluracil because it becomes thymine when methylation of uracil occurs at the 5th carbon.
Base pairing refers to the pairing of complimentary nitrogen bases, either during DNA replication, or transcription and translation. In DNA, the bases adenine and thymine pair together, and guanine and cytosine pair together. In RNA, the base uracil takes the place of the base thymine. The bases that pair together are said to be complimentary to each other.
