    Question

    What is the number of hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine in a DNA molecule?

    A.

    3,2

    B.

    2, 4

    C.

    4, 2

    D.

    2, 3

    Correct option is D

    the bases in two strands are paired through hydrogen bond forming base pairs in a DNA molecule, adenine forms 2-hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine is bonded with cytosine with 3-hydrogen bonds as a result always a purine comes opposite to a pyrimidine, this generates approximately uniform distance between the two strands of the DNA helix.
