In DNA, the base pairing rules dictate that adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). If adenine is 5, then thymine must also be 5 to maintain the base pairing. Therefore, thymine is 5. The amount of cytosine does not directly affect the quantity of thymine in this case.
There are millions of "bases" and "millions" containing nitrogen but you are probably referring to the 5 involved in De-oxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) and Ribo-Nucleic Acid RNA. These are the so called rungs of the ladder and for DNA are Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by Uracil so this is the fifth. This is one of the fundamental differences between RNA and DNA. The other is the use of Ribose instead of Deoxy-Ribose. Amongst the viruses there are both double stranded RNA and single stranded DNA so the number of strands has nothing to do with a substance being DNA or RNA.
Do you mean complementary DNA chain of 5'-AATGCTA-3' (not 5'-AATGSTA-3')A(adenine) bonds with T(thymine) and G(guanine) bonds with C (cytosine). So the complementary DNA strand would be: 3'-TTACGAT-5' .
DNA is made of two strands that are wrapped around each other like a ladder. The nucleotides in the DNA include a nitrogenous base, a carbon-based sugar molecule called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group attached to the sugar molecule.
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
In a DNA double helix, the base pairing rules dictate that cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). If a 100-base pair DNA molecule contains 45 cytosines, it must also contain 45 guanines, since they pair together. This leaves 10 base pairs, which must consist of adenine (A) and thymine (T). Since A pairs with T, there will be 5 adenines and 5 thymines in this DNA double helix.
adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) are the four nitrogen bases of DNA. In RNA, instead of Thymine (T), it would Uracil(U). So when you transcript a DNA into an RNA, T would be U.
The complementary strand of 3'-ATTCGACC is 5'-TAAGCTGG. This is because adenine pairs with thymine, cytosine pairs with guanine, and the directionality of the DNA strands is opposite.
The five nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA are adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and in RNA uracil.
DNA: adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine RNA: adenine-uracil, guanine-cytosine
Pyrimidines are the single ringed structures-Cytosine and ThyminePurines are the double ringed structures- Adenine and Guanine.
Since there are 15 cytosine bases, we can conclude that there are 15 guanine bases. That gives us a total of 30 bases, subtract that from 40 and you have 10 bases left. So then there are 5 adenine bases because there are also 5 more thymine bases.
Nucleotides contain a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil in place of thymine in RNA.

You have A (adenine),C (cytosine) ,G(guanine) and either T(thymine) or U(uracil)
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine are the four chemicals that make up the genetic code in DNA. These nucleotides pair in a specific way to form the double helix structure of DNA, which carries genetic information in living organisms.
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.
