This results strictly from the three dimensional conformation of the nucleotides that in turn results from these molecule's atomic configuration.

It just so happens that the 3-D conformation of nucleotides is planar [flat - why they stack so well] and that Thymine has 2 arms to meet Adenine's two while Cytosine and Guanine share -H-N-H:::O, and =N:::H-N, and =O:::H-N-.

What holdes nitrogen bases together?

A weak hydrogen bond, adenine and thymine have a double hydrogen bond cytosine and guanine have a triple hydrogen bond


What bases match up with which for DNA?

Adenine pairs with Thymine(double hydrogen bond) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine(triple hydrogen bond). (A)-(T) (G)-(C)


In DNA what bonds with what?

Guanine bonds with cytosine in 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.


What is the base pair of nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule?

In DNA the nitrogen bases are either purines or pyrimidines.Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are purines, and thymine (T) and cytosine (C) are pyrimidines.A pairs with T on the complementary strand, and G with C.In RNA, A pairs with U (uracil). U is specific for RNA, and T is found only in DNA.-------------If you have the same crossword puzzle homework as I do, the specific answer is:BASE PAIRS


How many hydrogen bonds are formed between C and G?

Three hydrogen bonds are formed between cytosine (C) and guanine (G) in DNA base pairing.


What are the base pairs when replicating DNA?

The base pairs when replicating DNA are adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G). This is known as complementary base pairing and ensures accurate copying of genetic information during DNA replication.


True or False In DNA a base can pair with another base?

it is true to some extent. The DNA bases are Adenine(A), Thymine(T), Cytosine(C) and Guanine(G). Now the reason i say it is true is because A forms a double hydrogen bond with T only and C forms a triple hydrogen bond with G only.


What are the complimentary base patterns in DNA?

Adenine is complimentary to thymine. Cytosine is complimentary to guanine.


What bases do adenine and guanine have?

adenine and guanine are double ringed bases, that bond with thymine and cytosine (mono ringed bases). adenine bonds with thymine (double connection, whereas guanine bonds with cytosine (triple connection)


Which bases in RNA correspond to each other?

Guanine and cytosine base pair (triple bond), and adenine and uracil base pair (double bond).
