Which nitrogenous base pairs with cytosine in ?
A
B
C
D
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of DNA: DNA is composed of two strands forming a double helix, with nitrogenous bases paired between the strands.
Identify the four main nitrogenous bases in DNA: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
Learn the base pairing rules: In DNA, bases pair specifically due to hydrogen bonding. Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.
Recognize that Uracil is not found in DNA: Uracil is a base found in RNA, where it pairs with Adenine, replacing Thymine.
Apply the base pairing rule to Cytosine: Since Cytosine pairs with Guanine, the correct answer to the question is Guanine.
