You are building a lego model of DNA. So far you decided. . . A red lego will represent adenine (A). A green lego will represent guanine (G). An orange lego will represent thymine (T). A blue lego will represent cytosine (C). If you use 30 red legos in your DNA, you will also use 30 legos of which color?

- Red

- Green

- Orange

- Blue

My teacher always taught me the saying "(A)pples on (T)rees, (C)ars in (G)arrages, meaning that A always went with T and C always goes with G

When that applies here, 30 Red, or Adenine legos would go with 30 Thymine legos, which is the color orange

30 reds would go with 30 oranges in this case
