alleryIn a DNA double helix, adenine pairs with thymine through how many hydrogen bonds?
ATwo
BThree
COne
DFour
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Two
A pairs with T via 2 hydrogen bonds
G pairs with C via 3. This A=T, G=C rule reflects Chargaff's equivalence and gives a near-constant inter-strand distance.
