Which bases does Guanine always bond with to form a pair in DNA?

In a DNA molecule cytosine always pairs with guanine, the same is true for an RNA molecule.


What is adenine and guanine held together with?

The Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine bases present in DNA are molecules that are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This bond occurs between an electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond acceptor) and a hydrogen atom attached to another electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond donor).


Why would a DNA molecule have the same percentage of guanine and cytosine in it?

A DNA molecule may have the same percentage of guanine and cytosine because they bond together through three hydrogen bonds, forming a stable base pair. This complementary pairing ensures that the total percentage of guanine always equals the total percentage of cytosine in a DNA molecule, known as Chargaff's rule.


Which nuclotide pair bonds would be found in an DNA molecule?

In a DNA molecule, the nucleotide pairs that bond together are adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G). These base pairs form the rungs of the DNA double helix structure through hydrogen bonding.


What nitrogenous bases will tend to hydrogen bond with adenine in DNA?

Thymine will tend to hydrogen bond with adenine in DNA due to complementary base pairing. In RNA, uracil can also hydrogen bond with adenine.


In DNA what bonds with what?

Guanine bonds with cytosine in DNA.


How do bases bond together?

Note that adenine only bonds with thymine, and cytosine only bonds with guanine. The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds: adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds; cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds.


What is the type of bond cytosine and guanine make?

An H-bond, or known as hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are attractive bonds, very strong but easy to break. Think of it as someone who has a girlfriend(a strong bond, connected) but is attracted to other girls. A hydrogen bond is not as strong as a covalent or ionic bond(a strong bond).


What type of bonds hold together the base in DNA molecule?

A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine, that comes from another molecule or chemical group. The hydrogen must be covalently bonded to another electronegative atom to create the bond. This type of bond occurs in both inorganic molecules such as water and organic molecules such as DNA.


What is the type of bond that attracts an oxygen and hydrogen molecule?

A hydrogen bond is the type of bond that attracts an oxygen and hydrogen molecule. In a hydrogen bond, the hydrogen atom from one molecule is attracted to the electronegative oxygen atom of another molecule.


What type of bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of a DNA molecule?

Hydrogen bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of a DNA molecule. These hydrogen bonds connect adenine with thymine (or uracil in RNA) and guanine with cytosine, contributing to the double helix structure of DNA.


Why Guanine and cytosine have triple bond in between and Adenine and Thymine have double bond in between?

Guanine and cytosine have three hydrogen bonds between them to maintain the stability of the DNA double helix structure, while adenine and thymine have two hydrogen bonds. This difference in bonding helps to ensure proper base pairing and overall stability of the DNA molecule.
