Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct complementary base pairings in DNA are adenine with thymine, which forms two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine with guanine, which forms three hydrogen bonds. Choice A, B, and E are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the correct base pairings and their number of hydrogen bonds. Choice C is incorrect because it describes cytosine and guanine forming two hydrogen bonds, which is not accurate.
