One of the most important properties of guanine is its ability to form three hydrogen bonds with cytosine. This strong base pairing is crucial for the stability of the DNA double helix and the ...

This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability and replication of DNA. The thymine-adenine (T-A) base pair is held together by fewer hydrogen bonds ...

The cause is related to expansion of repeating DNA units, in which specific strings of genetic code-in this case, a series of cytosine-adenine-guanine nucleotides, or CAG, on one strand of the DNA ...
