    Why does cytosine make pair with guanine and not with adenine?

    A)  \[C-A\] pair would be too wide to fit in the double helix

    B)  \[C\] and \[A\] are both polar

    C)  \[C-A\] pair would not reach across the double helix

    D)  The functional groups that form \[H-\]bond are not complementary between \[C\] and\[A\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Adenine is complementary to thymine and guanine to cytosine. These are joined by \[H-\]bonds i.e, two between \[A=T\] and three between\[G=C\].
