Adenine does form a base pair with thymine (linked with two hydrogen bonds).

Cytosine does form a base pair with guanine (linked with three hydrogen bonds).

Both the number of the bounds and the spatial location of these bonds ensure that the correct bases pair in the double string DNA.

Nitpicking: Note that adenine can of course bind with all the bases (A,T,C,G) otherwise a DNA sequence like CAG would be impossible.

What nitrogenous base sequence bonded to T C G A A T?

C pairs with G and A pairs with T. So, G G T C A T C A A. If that's not what you want, I'm sorry.


Water dissolves ionic compounds because water molecules?

So basically an atom of water or (H2O) is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded together to make a compound. A covalent bond is when two nonmetal elements, most commonly, two gases come together to make a compound. So water is a covalent bond because it is hydrogen bonded with oxygen which are both nonmetal elements being bonded together to form a covalent bond. There is a difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds. The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond is that in a covalent bond the two or more elements that are being bonded together share electrons rather than take them like in an ionic compound. So with the fact that covalently bonded compounds share electrons in mind, electrons are not evenly distributed or shared throughout a water molecule because oxygen atoms strongly attract electrons. Because the oxygen atoms do this they pull electrons away from the hydrogen atoms giving them a partial positive charge. Now that the oxygen atom has the electrons closer to it than the other two hydrogen atoms it gives the oxygen atom a partially negative charge. This act of atoms not evenly sharing electrons is called a polar compound. What is special about compounds that are polar is that is attracts both positive and negative ions of an ionic commpund. Thats why water can dissolve ionic compounds because its polar structure.


What kind of bonds can mineral crystal contain?

Mineral crystals can contain ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or metallic bonds depending on the specific elements involved in the mineral composition. These bonds help give minerals their distinctive properties such as hardness, cleavage, and color.


Elements of which form ionic bonds between them when combined together?

Elements that form ionic bonds have a large difference in electronegativity. Typically, metals and nonmetals will form ionic bonds when combined together. In these bonds, the metal atom loses electrons to form a cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to form an anion.

What bonds Adenine and Thymine together?

The Watson-Crick base pair of Thymine is Adenine. The two molecules are bound together by a set of three hydrogen bonds. Thymine can also form what are known as Thymine dimers when exposed to UV radiation, which is the source of damage to DNA from overexposure to UV radiation and can cause cancer.
