Question
drag the labels onto the diagram to identify how nucleotides pair up. labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.
In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). These base - pairing rules are fundamental in DNA structure and replication.

From top to bottom on the left - hand side of the parental DNA molecule: A pairs with T, C pairs with G, G pairs with C, A pairs with T, T pairs with A. When the strands separate and act as templates, the new nucleotides that pair up follow the same A - T and C - G rules. So for the new strands being formed, the nucleotides that come in will pair such that an A in the template strand will have a T added, a C in the template strand will have a G added, and vice - versa.
