Guanine

Step-by-step explanation:

it's not Adenine you've been given Adenine before in the diagram

the DNA ladder is composed of phosphates and deoxyribose sugars arranged linearly and alternatively.

the two chains are also referred to as complementary strands of DNA since one is the exact opposite of the other. Guanine is the opposite of Cytosine and Adenine is the opposite of Thymine. Thus, if Guanine is present on a Complementary DNA Strand, it is Cytosine that will occupy the same position on the other strand and bind with it. Similarly, Adenine will bind with Thymine.

Answer: X is thymine

Explanation: A DNA is an acronym for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a biological molecule that is composed of two complimentary chains of nucleotide sequence that coil around each other to form a double helical structure. A nucleotide is made up of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nucleotides in DNA are composed of four types of bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine(T) and cytosine (C). In DNA base pairing, adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine
