They pair by hydrogen bonds holding them together. Covalent bonds hold the nucleotides together, creating a sugar-phosphate backbone.

Does the base Guanine always pair to Adenine?

In transfer RNA, yes, unless there is a mutation.


What base will always pair with another base?

A purine will always pair with a pyrimidine. Examples of purines are adenine (pairs with thymine or uracil) and guanine (pairs with cytosine). Examples of pyrimidines are thymine (pairs with adenine), uracil (pairs with adenine), and cytosine (pairs with guanine).


Which nitrogen bases can pair up together in DNA?

Adenine (A) can pair with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) can pair with guanine (G) in DNA through hydrogen bonding. This complementary base pairing is essential for the stability and accurate replication of DNA molecules.


Does adenine pair with guanine in DNA replication?

Yes, adenine pairs with thymine, not guanine, in DNA replication.

What are the nitrogen bases found in RNA and what do they bond to?

Adenine and Uracil, which pair together (Uracil takes the place of Thymine from DNA) Guanine and Cytosine, which also pair together


Does cytosine pair with an adenine or a guanine base?

Cytosine binds [bonds] with Guanine.


Which bases always pair on DNA?

Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine


How many rings do adenine and guanine have?

Adenine and guanine molecules are two of the four nitrogenous bases that help make up the structure of DNA. They are also known as "purine" bases because they have a double ring structure. The purine bases are extremely important in DNA formation and they specifically pair up with the other two nitrogenous bases, known as the "pyrimidine" bases. Adenine molecules will always pair with thymine molecules and guanine molecules will always pair with cytosine.
