This lesson will explain nitrogenous bases, types of bases, and complementary base pairs in both DNA and RNA. It will also cover the rules of base pairing and provide examples.

Learn about the DNA bases adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Discover which bases pair with each other, known as DNA complementary bases and what they do.

Learn all about complementary base pairing with our concise video lesson. Grasp the rules and see examples, followed by an optional quiz to test your knowledge.

An example of a base pair is adenine pairing with thymine. This occurs in the DNA molecule. Adenine forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine, allowing them to pair together.

Here’s how to approach this question The first step is to recall the essential rules of complementary base pairing in DNA and RNA, where in DNA adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and guanine …

1. Complementary base pairing in DNA assures that only one of the following base pairs exists in DNA. Select the correct base pair.
