Cytosine pairs with
Guanine
Cytosine (C) generally pairs with guanine (G) in DNA and RNA double strands. The hydrogen bonding between C and G forms three hydrogen bonds, which is stronger than the two hydrogen bonds formed between adenine (A) and thymine (T) in DNA and A and uracil (U) in RNA. This complementary base pairing is essential for the replication and transcription of genetic information and plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and integrity of the genetic code. Any error in the base pairing can cause mutations that may lead to various genetic disorders and diseases.
