The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the hydrogen bonds and base pairing in DNA, we can break down the information as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding DNA Structure**: DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. 2. **Identifying Nitrogenous Bases**: In DNA, there are two categories of nitrogenous bases: - **Purines**: Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) - **Pyrimidines**: Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T) 3. **Base Pairing Rules**: The nitrogenous bases pair specifically: - Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) through **two hydrogen bonds**. - Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C) through **three hydrogen bonds**. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, in the context of the question, hydrogen bonds and base pairings occur between: - Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) - Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) ### Final Answer: In DNA, hydrogen bonds and base pairings occur between Adenine (A) and Thymine (T), and between Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C). ---
