Question 6

In DNA, which base pairs with adenine?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Thymine. The pairing is fixed: A with T and C with G. Wherever one strand carries A, the other carries T at that position.

Because each base has only one partner, either strand is enough to rebuild the other. That is how a cell copies its DNA before it divides.

Answer the question to continue.
