Which nucleotide is always pared paired with adenine in a dna molecule?

In DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine.


In RNA which nucleotide is always paired with uracil?

This pairs up with Adenine just as Thymine had.


Which nucleotide is paired with adnine in DNA?

thymine


How nucleotide bases fit into the double helix structure?

Imagine DNA as a ladder. The sugar and phosphate pattern are the vertical parts. Nucleobases are paired together and form the steps. A sugar, phosphate group and nucleobase form a nucleotide and each vertical column of the ladder runs in an opposite direction. One other feature is that a Purine must be paired with a Pyrimidine which is why A is always with T and C is always with G.


According to chargaffs rules which nucleotide is always paired with adenine in a DNA molecule?

Thymine is always paired with adenine in a DNA molecule according to Chargaff's rules. They form a complementary base pair, with adenine pairing with thymine through two hydrogen bonds.


Why are Adenine and Thymine and Guanine and Cytosine always paired together?

they are always paired together because when DNA is replicated they always find each other.


What part of the twisted ladder or double helix of DNA is made up for the nucleotide bases?

The nucleotide bases of DNA are located at the center of the twisted ladder or double helix structure. They are paired up across the helix, with adenine pairing with thymine and guanine pairing with cytosine through hydrogen bonds.


What if any safeguard does DNA have against this form of mutation?

DNA polymerases will undo the work they have done if a previous nucleotide is not paired with a complementary base.


What base is always paired with thymine?

Thymine


Is uracil always paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA?

No, Uracil doesn't occur in double stranded DNA. Doublestranded DNA contains Guanine paired with Cytosine and Adenine paired with Thymine. In RNA, however, Adenine is always paired with Uracil instead of Thymine.


What nucleotide is always pairedwith thymine?

Adenine always pairs with thymine in DNA.


What is mean by the term base pairing?

Base pairing in DNA is very simple. It means that Adenine will always be paired with Thymine and Guanine will always be paired with Cytosine.
