Help please! Can someone please explain to me how the base pairing rule in DNA works and give an example? (no plagiarism please)

DNA is forms a double helix shape/strand. The rule of base pairing is pretty much something that you just need to know by heart. A (adenine), T (Thymine), G (Guanine), and C (Cytosine) and the 4 bases that make up DNA. 

***** The most important part is to know that A always pairs with T and G always pairs with C ***** 

So, the double helix strand of DNA is made up of two strands - kind of like a ladder - one strand is the original, while the other is a replicate of the original strand that is formed through different steps of polymerase reaction etc. 

So, for example, let's say strand 1 has this code: ATGCTAGCTGATCG (I made this up, probably doesn't code for anything). But, knowing this, what will it's replicate of second strand look like? 

Original strand:       ATGCTAGCTGATCG
Replicate Strand:    TACGATCGACTAGC

So, you can see from the above example that to form the replicate strand, you just insert the base that pairs with the one from the original strand. A-T and G-C!

Hope that helped!

Dna is a polymer of __________, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a __________.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: DNA is a polymer of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base

Explanation:

Every molecule in the human body are formed by the chains of particular substances. These components are arranged orderly as linked chains to give the structure called DNA.

The components include nucleotides—this is also considered the chemical substance in the human body which helps in the formation.

In this formation of chains, nitrogenous bases will also be linked to form a polymer of DNA.
