• Basic bonds

What is the meaning of complementary base paring, in DNA structure?

• Nucleotide bases always exist in the same proportions in a DNA molecule.

• Each type of base always pairs with one other type, C with T and A with G.

• This is the idea that nucleotide bases always pair with nucleotide bases.

• Each type of nucleotide base always pairs with just one other type of base, C with G and A with T.

In what ways is RNA different to DNA?

• DNA has uracil and ribose, whereas RNA has thymine and deoxyribose.

• RNA has uracil and is double stranded but DNA has thymine and is single stranded.

• DNA has ribose sugar and is double stranded, whereas RNA has deoxyribose sugar and is single stranded.

• RNA has ribose sugar and is single stranded, whereas DNA has deoxyribose sugar and is double stranded.
