No, A and C do not form a legitimate base pair in DNA. The complementary base pair for A is T, while the complementary base pair for C is G.
No, RNA nucleotides in transcription pair with complementary DNA nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A-U, G-C), as opposed to replicating DNA in which DNA nucleotides pair with complementary DNA nucleotides (A-T, G-C).
the types that occur are complementary and antiparallel. For example, DNA A will pair with RNA U and DNA C will pair with RNA G.
A DNA molecule can have base pairs composed of adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairing with cytosine (C). This is known as complementary base pairing in DNA.
Cytosine is a nitrogenous base that is a component of DNA, but on its own, it is not a nucleotide. In DNA, cytosine pairs with guanine through hydrogen bonding to form a complementary base pair. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.
