Adenine
,Guanine,Thymine and Cytosine are the nucleotides of human DNA.Nucleotides are
of two types:-
1.Purines ;- Double ring structure ex.Adenine & Guanine
2.pyrimidine;-Single ring structure ex. Thymine & Cytosine
These are represented as A for adenine,G for Guanine,T for Thymine and C for
Cytosine.In double helix model of DNA one can easily identified these base
pairs by this representation as well with pairing pattern and the bonding
between these pairs.Adenine pairs with thymine with two hydrogen bonds and
Guanine pair with Cytosine with three hydrogen bonds.In RNA Uracil(U) replaces
Thymine.
