Question

Which of the following is correct about $$H$$ - bonding in nucleotide?

A. $$A - T,\,G - C$$  
B. $$A - G,\,T - C$$
C. $$G - T,\,A - C$$
D. $$A - A,\,T - T$$
Answer :   $$A - T,\,G - C$$
Solution :
The structure of $$DNA$$  molecule is a double helical structure. In this structure double helix are made up of two right handed helical polynucleotide chains which are held together by $$H$$ - bonds. In these helixes the adenine $$(A)$$  base is linked with thymine $$(T)$$  by two $$H$$ - bonds and guanine $$(G)$$  is linked with cytocine $$(C)$$  by three $$H$$ - bonds as $$A = T,$$  and $$G \equiv C.$$
