Base pairingBase pairing
The Nitrogenous The Nitrogenous Bases pair up with Bases pair up with other bases. For other bases. For example the bases example the bases of one strand of of one strand of DNA base pair with DNA base pair with the bases on the the bases on the opposite strand of opposite strand of the DNA.the DNA.

The Rule:The Rule: Adenine always base pairs with Adenine always base pairs with
Thymine (or Uracil if RNA)Thymine (or Uracil if RNA)
Cytosine always base pairs with Cytosine always base pairs with Guanine.Guanine.
This is beacuse there is exactly This is beacuse there is exactly enough room for one purine and one enough room for one purine and one pyramide base between the two pyramide base between the two polynucleotide strands of DNA.polynucleotide strands of DNA.
