Answer:they won't for a pair

Explanation:Basically it all depends on process called complementary base pairing, the structure of thymine and adenine is such that it forms two hydrogen bonds and therefore pair up

2.guanine and cytosine have such structure that they form three hydrogen bonds and pair up

So Adenine complements only thymine and guanine complements cytosine and there aren't any chances of guanine pairing up with thymine.
