Options
- AAdenine and thymine; guanine and cytosine
- BAdenine and thymine; guanine and uracil
- CAdenine and guanine, thymine and cytosine
- DUracil and adenine; cytosine and guanine
Correct answer
A. Adenine and thymine; guanine and cytosine
Step-by-step solution
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has the purine bases adenine and guanine and pyrimidine bases thymine and uracil According to base pairing rule adenine paired with thymine (A=T) and cytosine paired with guanine ( C G ) .
