DNA double helix is made of 2 complementary DNA strands . These strands are held together by hydrogen bonding between the complementary bases on each strand.
Nucleotides are the building units of nucleic acids. Bases are components of the nucleotides.
Bases on one DNA strands pairs with bases on the complementary DNA strand through hydrogen bonds.
bases can pair with the complementary base.
Complementary base of thymine is adenine .
Therefore thymine pairs with adenine.
