What type of bonds hold the base pairs together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the base pairs together. How many hydrogen bonds connect each base pair?
Adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds; cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds. Which base in an anticodon will pair with the base adenine in a codon?
Uracil (U) in the anticodon will pair with adenine (A) in the codon. What nucleotide pairs with T? With C?
Adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). What are complementary base pairs? Give an example.
Complementary base pairs are specific pairs of nitrogenous bases that bond together, such as adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.
