Answer:

From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.
