  2. It represents four human DNA bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
  3. A DNA molecule is made up of two complementary strands that are wrapped around one other.
  4. Bonds between these nucleotides keep each strand of DNA together.
  5. When it comes to pairing, adenine only pairs with thymine while cytosine always pairs with guanine.
