Solution

Nitrogenous base pairs:

  1. The DNA sequence is usually represented as a string of letters like A, T, G, and C.
  2. It helps in holding the two strands of DNA together.
  3. There are only four available letters: A, T, G, and C.
  4. Adenine(A) always pairs with thymine(T).
  5. Guanine(G) always pairs with cytosine(C).
  6. Adenine is long with the presence of two binding sites.
  7. Thymine is short with the presence of two binding sites.
  8. Guanine is long with the presence of three binding sites.
  9. Cytosine is short and has three binding sites.
