Which of the following is correct about H-bonding in DNA?
- A \( A-T, G-C \)
- B \( A-G, T-C \)
- C \( G-T, A-C \)
- D \( A-A, T-T \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( A-T, G-C \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Complementary bases in DNA is adenine pairs with thymineand guanine pairs with cytosine, therefore, H-Bonding in
DNA is in between these bases, that is, \( A-T, G-C \)
DNA is in between these bases, that is, \( A-T, G-C \)
