Which of these are the correct base pairs of DNA?

A. adenine and uracil

B. cytosine and guanine

C. cytosine adenine

D. thymine and guanine

Respuesta :

B) Cytosine and guanine.

The pairs are A/T and C/G.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

DNA means deoxyribonucleic acid which helps in determining the characteristics of a living thing. Base pairs present a DNA molecule are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.

The complemetary base pair of adenine is thymine and vice-versa.

Whereas the complementary base pair of guanine is cytosine and vice-versa.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options cytosine and guanine are the correct base pairs of DNA.
