To achieve a consistent distance across the width of the DNA strand,the nucleotide base guanine (G)can only be paired with what other genetic material?
A) Adenine (A)
B) Thymine (T)
C) Cytosine (C)
D) Sex chromosome X

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Four nucleotide bases-adenine (A),thymine (T),guanine (G),and cytosine (C)-comprise the "letters" in the genetic DNA "alphabet." The bases in the double helix are paired T with A and G with C.The nucleotide bases are designed so that only G can pair with C and only T can pair with A to achieve a consistent distance across the width of the DNA strand.The TA and GC combinations are known as base pairs.
