According to the base-pairing rules for DNA, which of the following statements is
not true?
A always pairs with T.
C always pairs with G.
Talways pairs with G.

Answer 1

T always pairs with G

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the complementary base pairing rule as postulated by Chargaff, an Adenine base (A) will always hydrogen pair with a Thymine base while Cytosine base (C) will always hydrogen pair with Guanine base (G) in a DNA molecule.

That is; A - T and G - C

Hence, based on the question, the pairing of Guanine and Thymine is incorrect.
